Public bug reported:

If I play a single song in the music app, the welcome shows "1 songs
played today". This is not grammatically correct.

Here's the relevant chunk from the music-app.qml:

Metric {
    id: songsMetric
    name: "music-metrics"
    format: "<b>%1</b> " + i18n.tr("songs played today")
    emptyFormat: i18n.tr("No songs played today")
    domain: "com.ubuntu.music"
}

FWICS, it looks like the problem is due to a limitation of
libusermetrics. If so, two possible solutions come to mind:

1) Extending libusermetrics to allow the specification of a
"singleFormat:" which in this case would be:

    singleFormat: "<b>%1</b> " + i18n.tr("song played today")  // It's
now "song", not "songs"

2) Having some JS construct the format dynamically based on the value
somehow? The problem there being that every app that wanted to get this
right would need to implement the JS.
