iTunes Authorization

I purchased 2 albums from the iTunes Store. Several of the songs are working. A few of the songs won't play. It asks for Computer Authorization. I have put in my used name & password multiple times. I am using the same computer where a bought the albums. I have even restarted my computer. Please help.

Windows, Windows 10

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for 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.
