Can you see a song count in the app?

No, there isn't a way to see the number of songs in the Apple Music mobile app. When you add songs to your Apple Music library, they're added to the Songs section of the Library tab. But, the only way to see the total count is to log in to the Apple Music or iTunes desktop app.
- Note that you can only add 100,000 songs to your Apple Music Library. You can turn off adding songs from playlists automatically to the library to avoid this limit.^{[1]
