It\u2019s not the cleanest of workarounds, but it does allow you to\nlisten to any recent releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The person who made the initial report has confirmed that they have\nmade contact with Google\u2019s support team&nbsp;\u2014 who have escalated the issue\nwhilst simultaneously confirming that it is a \u2018known issue\u2019. Google has\nnot yet commented publicly on this issue though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no word on whether this affects YouTube Music, but there are\n no reports of this affecting it as of yet. This could all stem from\nlicensing agreement issues as other platforms&nbsp;such as Spotify have no\nissues playing recent tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the video below to see the bug for yourself. We\u2019d also love  to know if you\u2019ve experienced this for yourself \u2014 our own Ben Schoon  has confirmed that this bug is legit.
