If you show us where array[0] and array[1] are being initialized, it
would be easier to diagnose the problem.

At the same time, if array[0].songs equals array[1] songs, you are
probably initializing both array[0] and array[1] with the same object.
Since array[0] and array[1] both refer to the same object, a change to
one will be reflected in the other.

I hope this is what you're looking for.
