A song I have downloaded will not work and just keeps asking me to authorize my computer to play and never plays

Delete and redownload the song which won't play. If this isn't free in your country, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I have this problem with half of the songs on the same album though Invincible isn't one of them. iTunes keeps asking me for authorization, and when I authorize it, it just asks me again when I try to play it.

I had the same problem. The only fix I found was to:

1) delete the files off of my PC

2) sign out of my iTunes account

3) shut down and reopen iTunes

4) sign back into my iTunes account

5) download the songs to my PC one at a time

Its working now, but what a pain in the ***!

I figured there was a better way around it. You are allowed to register up to 5 macs under your apple ID. Here's how to legit authorize them: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251#limit

Had same issue. This worked perfectly! Thank you.
