Why do we say 'Selena Gomez song' instead of 'Selena Gomez's song'?

I have noticed that in wikipedia articles and it's a bit confusing to me.

Thanks,
Vitaliy.
 
The name was probably used attributively (like an adjective).

We say 'I sang a Kate Bush song on karaoke night' or 'I sang one of Kate Bush's songs on karaoke night'.
 
Remind me never to come to karaoke with you, Rover! ;-)
