How did you calculate this? Does licensing the games automatically license the music as well?

I found Double Bubble's music name in the description of one of my videos.
I found A Maze Race II's music name on one of Jason Chan's videos in the description.

2 of the games have 2 songs: Ball Sumo (musicGame.ogg and musicGamePlay.ogg), and the discontinued Father and Son (musicGame.mp3 and musicTeenage.mp3). All other 615 games have 1 song: musicGame.mp3 in 556 games, musicGame.ogg in 58 games, and musicGame.wav in 1 game which is Memory (Tricky). However, despite the extensions, all the songs are stored in both mp3 and ogg formats.

The song in Halloween Pumpkins is "Dark Fantasy · Dan Graham" as detected when uploading to Novel Games Music channel.
The song in Save is detected as "Midnight Raid-Ed Wood Music Ed Wood Music", and the song in Lightning is detected as "DLM - Contamination Williams, Alan (BMI)", but those songs cannot be found anywhere else, so I think that @Novel Games already managed to get exclusive licensing to those songs.

Actually, the song in Save is actually a construction kit from Big Fish Audio's Symphonic Manoeuvres 2 and the song in Lightning is sampled from the Abstract World Fusion 2 sample pack by Perimeter Sound Arts.
Novel Games basically licensed their music and sounds from sample packs most of the time, such as Big Fish Audio, Loopmasters, Ueberschall, and more. For the cartoony sound effects, they used lots of Cartoon Express by Sound Ideas. For 8-bit sounds, they used 8 Bit Family 1 and 2 by Discovery Sound. They sometimes used tracks that were only found in demo tracks of the sample packs and half of the time, they used just stems of the construction kits.

Mine Sweeping Race's music is called "By The Way" by Pierre Langer and Typing Monster's music is called "Lucky Break" which was also by Pierre Langer.
They also licensed tracks from SmartSound, which was where these two tracks are from.

For old sounds before the Music and Sounds Update, half of them were from Voyetra's Digital Sound Gallery Vol. 1
