Why is my battery life draining so fast?

[AC Question]

Hello all, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge that for some odd reason whenever I listen to music, which is stored in the phone's memory, drains about 20% in an hour. I really don't know why it does this & I just hope for some feedback on what you guys think. Thank you for the help.

Welcome to Android Central! Is the music playing loudly from the phone's speaker, or through headphones? Is the screen staying on while you're listening?

I am listening to the music through my headphones, and the screen is off.

Is it the stock Music app, or Google Play Music, or something else?

I'm using the music app that comes pre-installed with the phone.

In the Settings>Battery menu, what shows as using the most battery after the level drops like that? Is it the Music app, or something else?

It usually says Android OS.

And is it a pretty large percentage?
