Listening stats don't add up

      With the new album pages being worked on, I noticed that the individual track listening stats don't match the overall listening stats of the album.
      take for example this album: https://test.listenbrainz.org/album/0d818618-f507-4a76-a245-7b9c86738b68
      I see three potential issues: # the third track "Dreams" has `total_listen_count` and `total_user_count` both null

      1. the last track "Butterfly 3000" only has 93 listens compared to the 1.3k+ of the other tracks, which is even more odd for a title song… are we matching the single version instead or something?
      2. overall stats: 15k plays about matches the total of the numbers I see on each track (just about, probably related to the previous two issues) but there's only two "top listeners" totaling 37 listens. How are those calculated?

      For another example, take Dummy by Portishead: https://test.listenbrainz.org/album/48140466-cff6-3222-bd55-63c27e43190d

      Most tracks have near or over a million listens, which sounds about right, but the total stats don't add up at all with 226 thousand listens from 51 listeners ( at the time of writing. see attached screenshot)

      Final example to illustrate another case, for some albums the listening stats are equal to zero despite the recordings having a listen count:
