Greyed out songs on Apple Music

[TRICKorDEVICE]

I have been having an issue where tracks are greyed out an unplayable through Apple Music. Any help is appreciated.

For example, under the "For You" tab it recommended "Aeroplane Flies High" by Smashing Pumpkins. When I clicked into it, all but the last two songs are greyed out and unplayable. Can someone look at that album on their PC and/or iOS device and see if you have similar results?

Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm in the UK.

This is what I see when I view that particular album.

United States here, all but 2 songs are playable. The rest are unplayable like you say

Thanks for the replies all. I'm in the U.S. Too. So is this potentially a regional licensing issue?

What do you think?

Worth checking another streaming service. I just browsed rhapsody and they don't even have the album so sounds like licencing for you guys in the US

Hi "For You", what have you got for me today?

...oh.

What good are human curated playlists if this happens? How come they even manage to put songs that are not in Apple Music on the playlists?

In iTunes (Australia) of the 33 tracks in the album tracks 23 (Rotten Apples) and 26 (Blank) are greyed out.

i can understand 23, but what's wrong with 26?

Ahh that Michael Jackson album is missing here in the UK as well

I think Xscape simply isn't on Apple Music no matter where you are, I saw it mentioned before.

Definitely. I see this all the time on compilations and soundtracks.
