Did you look at (or buy) Gourmandises or any songs from it anytime in the past on iTunes or an affiliate? Online marketing processes this days will grab something you've already browsed and will place that in the "bought by others" section. One of the strongest incentives delivered for the buy psyche is to take something you have looked at in the past (but not yet bought) and push you over the top through buy association. This process can have little to do with what others have actually bought, and is used mainly as a means of bringing your past browsing to your attention in the hopes of making the sale.
