I feel I'm missing something obvious.
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.
