HomePods: Problem with Apple Music (and only for specific bands!)

When I ask Siri to play a specific band or album on HomePods, I get the There Is A Problem message. When I ask them to play (for example), Yacht rock, it plays!


AOK on all other devices.

Restarted HomePods several times.

Help! And thanks!

Have you tried this method to at lease confirm that the content it question is recognized as being in your library? Remote control for HomePod, not using Air… - Apple Community. You might also check the iCloud Status column in your library to make sure the items you want to play are shown as Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, or Apple Music. Other status values would indicate a problem with those tracks that might prevent Homepod from being able to play them.

I do have a subscription to Apple Music.

AOK on all other devices - just not HomePods.
