Siri won't play artists/music that's not in my library.

Earlier today, I asked my HomePod mini to "play ABBA" (I don't have any ABBA music in my library). To which I got "I didn't find ABBA on Apple Music.". I originally thought this was a problem only on my HomePod but it is just Siri in general. Basically, Siri appears to be oblivious to any music, artists or genres outside of what's already added to my library. I have absolutely no idea what to do or try from here, all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello joelmarrkk,

We understand you are having an issue with Siri playing music that is not in your music library and we're happy to help. First, are you able to locate the artist and play their songs on your device without using Siri?

Also, is the issue occurring with all artists that have not been added to the library?

Lastly, does the issue occur after restarting the device?

Take care
