Windows PC why can't I play all the songs on a purchased album?

How do I play two of the songs from purchased album, when computer itunes says device not authorized to play these selections? Ask for ID and password to authorize. I input info but they still don't play. Other songs on same album play just fine.

Windows, Windows 10

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.
