Had an error when i was trying to migrate songs

One of the crucial part or Django is that you must migrate every time there is a change in the models.py. In the "Django TDD" challenge, i received an error when i was trying to migrate the models.

", line 50, in emit_post_migrate_signal

", line 192, in send                                                                             
    response = receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named)

    ctype = ContentType.objects.db_manager(using).get_for_model(klass)                           
  File "/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/contrib/contenttypes/m
odels.py", line 80, in get_for_model                                                             
    "Error creating new content types. Please make sure contenttypes "                           
RuntimeError: Error creating new content types. Please make sure contenttypes is migrated before 
trying to migrate apps individually.

Because of this, i was un able to past some of the codes. Can somebody explain to me why this happened and what is the best solution for this?

Just had the same problem, but I've found a fix.
You need to migrate the auth app and then try songs again.

manage.py migrate auth
manage.py migrate songs
