To listen to a song too much
Hi everyone!
I have the following question: are there in English any idioms for expressing that I listen to a song or an album too often? Say, 50 times a day :) I only heard something like "ad nauseam" but I'm not sure whether it sounds correct.
Thank you all for your answers in advance! :)

Binge listening, perhaps? "I have been binge listening to this song/album".
Lately, I have often heard "binge" used with a lot of other verbs.

All good answers, 'broken record' and 'ad nauseum' sound a bit negative.
I've been binge-listening to this album.
I've been playing this song non-stop.
I can't stop playing this song.
I've been playing this album 24/7. (24 hrs a day, 7 days a week)

You could use a few. I think the best one would be " you have been playing this song like a broken record!"
Like a Broken Record is the idiom.
Although this one is used more commonly when people keep talking about the same topic for a long time it can certainly be used with music.
Binging can be used also, although it refers to listening to music non-stop. Not necesseraly , listening to the same tune.
