Songs looping in head

[iamnotdrugs]

I have 24/7 music on loop in my head. Even when I'm dreaming I am conscious of the music.
I'm thinking the cause of it is my attempt to escape my emotions by keeping my brain occupied, as well as weak control of my brain, resulting in compulsive behavior.
I am trying meditation to strengthen brain control and live in the present moment, but the benefits normally wear off after 30 minutes or so.

Anyone have this or overcome it?

Thanks.

This probably sounds like a minor inconvenience compared to other cognitive problems, but it's actually affecting me fairly negatively. Very hard to concentrate during an exam when half your mind is occupied with music.
