iTunes Purchase Not Playing, Not Authorized

I purchased the album "Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas by the Allman Brothers Band trough the iTunes Store. The download seemed to go just fine, but when I go to play the music, 2 of the songs tell me that I need to authorize them. I key in my Apple ID and password and they system seems to accept them, but the 2 songs still do not play. How do I fix this? Thanks

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.
