Try keeping your post together in one place. This sounds like https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/519187/how-to-count-file-download-with-button-click-using-php-mysql to me.

So yes, you would code it so when the download button is clicked you +1 your song's download count in your database.

In case no one writes your code for you (rare here), there's a google about this: https://www.google.com/search?q=Increment+sql+entry+on+button+click&gl=US
