The songs I bought from itunes will not play...?

Today I just got through buying an album and two songs off iTunes, I waited until they finished downloading and when they finished I tried to play them, but the song stayed at 0:00, but it was on play and then songs play count kept rising, yet no sound.

I checked all the songs I bought and nothing!

Thinking it was my whole iTunes I checked songs I downloaded elsewhere and burned from CDs, unlike the iTunes purchased songs they were playing perfectly fine, absolutely no funny stuff.

Yet when I play these new songs, I get nothing, and why is that even though the song isn't playing the songs playcount keeps rising like it's doing a complete playthrough?

I tried going to the Apple support section, I tried everything I believed applied to me

Note, I restarted my itunes, and I even tried putting the songs on my ipod thinking it just wasn't playing itunes and it might play on my ipod.

Instead of it playing, my ipod skips the song like it finished playing it already.

I'm really confused and I'm starting to get kind of agitated.

Maybe it's because I bought the songs with a credit card? And they won't play until is verified?

I just don't know what could be wrong!

Please help?
