Go to your ~/.local/share/applications/ directory and you should find a launcher associated to the Play Music webapp. Simply move/delete the file.
Note that the launcher may not look like a Play Music icon, but just may appear as text file with the .desktop suffix. You'll have to open such files with a text editor and view their content to recognise the correct one.

Thanks a lot. This solved my problem. The launcher was in the form of a text file with .desktop suffix however on opening it, there will be a section called Name. I checked whichever file's name was Google Play Music and simply removed it. [Please note: The file names of the launchers might be gibberish and you have to open each file individually to see which is the correct file.] Thank you. :)
