Thank you for letting us know. Try to reset the HomePod to see if that rewsolves the issue. You can find the steps here: Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support

Hey there kaarrll,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help with improving your Music streaming experience. Have you tried restarting all of the devices? If not, start there. Test playing the songs through the iPhone speaker. Does that behave in the same way, skipping to the next song? If so, the songs in question may not be available in your new region. If not, the issue may be isolated to the HomePod.

Take care.
