Itunes will not play certain songs from purchased albums

I recently bought and downloaded a couple of albums on itunes but some of the songs will not play, I only have two devices authorized so that can't be the issue, whenever I click play on these songs it tells me this device is not authorized to play this song and asks for my ID and password, then it tells me this computer is already authorized but still does not play the songs, any ideas?

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
