hmmmm, not that often , for that songs sometimes don`t follow correct grammatical structures to fulfill the rhythmecal purpose.

the most benefit for english songs is  to increase the listening skill and how to speak with perfect pronunciation but in their songs they use slangs and phrases and they don't follow the rules i think that

not at all, because most of English songs use slangs which we try to skip as accademic English learners.

It depends on the genre of music do you listen to. I, personally, don't recommend rap to do the job.

I don't think that listening to English songs serves this specific purpose, but it helps out a lot in improving your overall language competence.

Not at all! Listening to songs will never help your grammer due to the fact that most are based one American English!

To listen in this way you must listen to pure native English speakers in conversation, and only then if you ask questions you may pick up the correct grammer.

Music will not help at all!!!!!!

It can help with prononciation, and to some extent with rules, too

Yes, the most famous example is Frank Sinatra.. This is why they call him "The Voice" :)
