I confirm that I have read the FAQ

Describe the bug

Some very specfic songs cause get_album to fail.

ytmusicapi version

1.10.3

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a script along the lines of:

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

ytmusic = YTMusic()
search_result = ytmusic.search("restriction team grimoire", filter="songs")
album = ytmusic.get_album(search_result[0]["album"]["id"])

And observe results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/navigation.py", line 117, in nav
    root = root[k]
           ~~~~^^^
KeyError: 'runs'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/err.py", line 5, in <module>
    album = ytmusic.get_album(search_result[0]["album"]["id"])
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/mixins/browsing.py", line 556, in get_album
    album = parse_album_header_2024(response)
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/parsers/albums.py", line 54, in parse_album_header_2024
    album_info["artists"] = [parse_base_header(header)["author"]]
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/parsers/podcasts.py", line 69, in parse_base_header
    "name": nav(strapline, [*RUN_TEXT]),
            ~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/bee/Projects/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/navigation.py", line 121, in nav
    raise type(e)(f"Unable to find '{k}' using path {items!r} on {root!r}, exception: {e}")
KeyError: "Unable to find 'runs' using path ['runs', 0, 'text'] on {}, exception: 'runs'"

Additional Info

99% of the other calls I make to this function work flawlessly, only some will trip it up
