What happens if you just use Siri on the phone and not try to go to the HomePod 
does it play it then? In other words just using your phone and asking Siri to 
play the album does it play the album in question? I would troubleshoot there 
first because if I can play it on the iPhone then yes definitely it’s a HomePod 
problem if it can’t then I would assume it’s some thing with a change or Siri 
just not understanding.
