MusicKit currentEntry.item is nil but currentEntry exists.

I'm trying to get the item that's assigned to the currentEntry when playing any song which is currently coming up nil when the song is playing. Note currentEntry returns:

MusicPlayer.Queue.Entry(id: "evn7UntpH::ncK1NN3HS", title: "SONG TITLE")

I'm a bit stumped on the API usage. if the song is playing, how could the queue item be nil?

		if queueObserver == nil {
			queueObserver = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue.objectWillChange
				.sink { [weak self] in
					self?.handleNowPlayingChange()
				}
		}
	}
	
	private func handleNowPlayingChange() {
		if let currentItem = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue.currentEntry {
			if let song = currentItem.item {
				self.currentlyPlayingID = song.id
				self.objectWillChange.send()
				print("Song ID: \(song.id)")
			} else {
				print("NO ITEM: \(currentItem)")
			}
		} else {
			print("No Entries: \(ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue.currentEntry)")
		}
	}
