I've recently refreshed my iTunes library and, as a result, decided to delete everything in iTunes Match and re-upload just to make sure it's all current and correct. It's a large library (nearly reaching the 25,000 song limit), so the process understandably took a while and there were some duplicates to get rid of, etc. The iTunes Match status icons helped a lot with that in terms of sorting and finding what needed to be addressed.

After a few days, however, there are still a number of songs (27 to be exact) with no discernible pattern among them which perpetually have a status icon of "Waiting" for iTunes Match.

I've tried selecting "Update iTunes Match" from the "Store" menu, closing and re-opening iTunes, even rebooting. I can't seem to get iTunes Match to upload those 27 remaining songs. Has anybody seen this before? Are there other things I can try?

I've heard from lots of people with similar problems. In some cases, they resolve after several days or a week. In others, they never do. Some people have tried deleting all their music from the cloud and re-matching, but I'm not sure that really changes anything. – Kirk McElhearn May 15 at 7:38
