No, you are not the only one, background music is pretty common though. Often the background music is just too loud compared to the voice. Professional productions use a technique called ducking, where the music is dynamically made quiet in relation to the volume of the voice. Personally, I prefer no background music at all, and I wonder if there is a case to made for the professionally balanced case?
