Numbers next to a song title - what does it mean?

Hi all.

I’ve noticed today some numbers next to the song title, can anybody tell me what this means? This is from an album on Qobuz (Amy Grant’s Christmas Album). This is the only track in my library it seems with the numbers next to it, and I can’t see how to edit/remove them? Thank you.

The year of the composition.

In 1840—a hundred years after the publication of Hymns and Sacred Poems—Mendelssohn composed a cantata to commemorate Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type printing, and it is music from this cantata, adapted by the English musician William H. Cummings to fit the lyrics of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, that propels the carol known today.
