YouTube music skips certain artists

I have tried removing YouTube music (premium) from my Sonos system and resetting the app, but this problem keeps happening. Specific songs just won’t play, and are skipped when in playlists. 
 

For example, I cannot seem to play any songs by CHVRCHES or Years and Years. If I start artist radio, for CHVRCHES for example, it will play other artists such as Haim. 
 

These artists play fine if I use AirPlay from the YouTube music app as a workaround, but I’d like to know if there is a fix for the Sonos app?

Sonos only points at YouTube servers to get content. I don’t believe Sonos does any ‘filtering’ of content, other than ‘it matches the file format we can play’. You might be more likely to get a better answer from YouTube support, since they supply the server where the data lives.
