Grammar question

First one but there might be a better way to phrase it so that you have it in a less clumsy fashion - what is the context here? Is this a title under which you are asking people to list songs that help them sleep or something else?
 
It's for a song title actually. Sort of.

It isn't for something formal or official so it's not too important, I just wanted to know which was correct.
 
I'd always go for the latter, as there are only so many songs which you can pick from.
 
I always thought it depends on the number of things your talking about. Like:
The song that helps you sleep.
A song that helps you sleep.

Some songs which help you sleep.
A few songs which help you sleep.

i dont know if im right tho?
 
First one is correct.

When you use "which" you have to use a comma before it. In your case in won't be right with a comma so you should use "that".

"Which" is used to offer further thoughts or clarification.

Or

The songs which help you sleep?

Either is OK as the sentence is a defining relative clause. If the sentence was a non-defining clause (such as "songs, which help me sleep, are relaxing") then you couldn't use 'that'.

In everyday speech we would tend to use 'that' more, and in written text 'which' is more acceptable. But either is OK.
