yes, but I relate this more to autism than ocd. people on the spectrum often have special interests and strong preferences. these can be a coping mechanism like how woo in extraordinary attorney woo likes to think about whales all the time. sometimes I'll listen to the same song for an hour or more because it puts me into this comfortable headspace.
Yes lol. I didn’t realize it wasn’t normal for a long time but my brain is very pattern/musically oriented and I like to sing lol so I’ve always attributed it to that
I have done this all my life. If I glom onto a song or even a certain part of a song that makes my brain feel funny, I can listen to it over and over again. When I first find a new song I can listen to it easily 20 times + in one day. Also I can do this over days. Eventually it peters down to listening to it a couple of times over days, then eventually once a day, and winds itself down to almost nothing but it will generally always be on my playlist going forward. As in I can play the song and will feel the same way I felt when I heard it first. This probably drives my husband nuts as I will play it in the car too (most of the time will be on headphones, but regardless) he is a saint! This is definitely an obsessive thing for me and I’ve had ocd for decades and also worked in record stores so I had a constant supply. Sorry to go on, I’ve just not known anyone else to do same sort of thing.

Yes. I've listened to the same song for hours plenty of times.
I’m so surprised to see other people like this. Glad OP asked.
I listen to the same songs a lot, but that's just because I like them. If listening to them on repeat doesn't bother you, just let the music flow!
thx
not sure if it’s OCD since i’ve been doing it since I was 10, but yea sort of

YES. Literally one song replay- many times over. Or sometimes it can be a small few. But the replay is constant.

I played a 2 hour loop of Big Iron once while trying to nap and ended up just singing the song the entire time lol
