Songs stuck on iTunes radio frequently

So I recently switched from Pandora to iTunes radio and I really started to like it except for the fact that it seems like every 2-3 songs there is a problem with the song loading almost as if it isn't able to stream (but I have full internet connection without any issues...Please see image below). I'm using iTunes on windows 8 and everything is fully up to date. The only solution is to change stations or skip to the next song but it's frustrating to have a constant interuption while at work or to skip a song I look forward to hearing. Please help...thanks!
