Is it normal to take a few seconds to switch tracks via AirPlay?

Using the HomePod for the first time yesterday and when changing the tracks directly on Apple Music it took around 3,4 seconds to start the new song, is this normal?

Apple Music launches Music Room

“Apple Music has always aimed to bring artists and their fans closer,” said Rachel Newman, co-head of Apple Music. “There is no better example of that idea come to life than Music Room. It’s everything that’s pure and even magical about live music, unfiltered and unadorned. No spectacle or stage – just the songs and the stories behind them, shared like never before, the audience just inches away.”
