Has anyone ever seen this in Music?

That symbol means explicit material and by any chance do you have iTunes Match
 
I'm sorry - I meant the red little squares..

Oh that's the new stop download button. Your music seems to be trying to download and for some reason it's not doing it. By any chance are those songs purchased?
 
Some are yes, but there's two versions on my iPhone. One that works and one that doesn't. Then on my desktop there's only one version (the one that was purchased) which works fine.

I think this is what happens when you OTA update..

My sister had the same on iOS6. As far as I remember I changed the settings somewhere to not download the songs - possibly switched off automatic downloads in iTunes and App Stores settings - then the unavailable duplicates disappeared and everything was back to normal. What changed to cause this to happen in the first place, I never found out - my sister was adamant that she had never changed any settings.

Correctly me if I'm wrong...it sounds like you use iTunes to sync all of your music (including non-iTunes purchased)?

If that's the case, go to settings>music>and de-select "show all music". It is trying to download your purchased songs even though you have them on your desktop in iTunes already.

As someone else pointed out, this feature showed up in iOS 6 with iTunes Match and apparently gets turned on by default
 
I had that issue, when I updated OTA It downloaded 4 movies... Guess who got to pay the $50 extra for data charges :D

This worked! Thank you!!!
