Q: How to Turn off Top Albums in Apple Music App from Home Screen?

On my AppleTV 4 home screen, I have Apple Music on the top row of apps.

 

When I hover over it, I get a list of current 'Top Albums'.  But that isn't what anyone who is not a subscriber to Apple Music wants to see.  I would like to see some of the recent things I have purchased in Itunes.

 

Also interesting, and why I'm making this request, is that the Top Albums feature will show restricted content, such as the Life of Pablo Album, depicting an image of bare buttocks on my home screen.  The content itself is not available unless the user has signed up for the streaming service, but the album art is available outside of this requirement.

 

I don't dispute the nature of the educational value of bare buttocks, but I do require more granular control so that I can show only PG content when I turn on my television.  More importantly, I would expect my paid content to be an option to display from a service I am using. Instead, I'm getting marketed at without an option to turn it off.

 

For now I will probably remove the Apple music app from the top row, and replace it with something customizable.

 

Has anyone else run into this issue - are there settings buried somewhere I'm missing?  The music app at the time of this post has a glorious 4 options, none of these apply.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 9.2.2, null
