...you have to go to a non-music video and then switch "Auto Play" to "Off".

There may be one with 'picture in picture' playing the music. This, depending on your own settings, happens when you navigate away from a playing video and it transfers itself to a small video box at the lower right of screen.

However, your post is helpful for next time, if there is one. This is the first time it has ever happened to me so it's a big mystery...
