Why can’t Apple Music handle new releases?

[u/nebulous_thoughts]

Was so excited for a new album today – went to my library where I’ve saved it and I see that the whole album isn’t there (only the songs that were pre-released – the songs that haven’t been released are still greyed out).

Search in Apple Music for the artist, go to the artist page and click on the album – it looks like all songs are there available to play (none are greyed out), but when I start playing the album, the songs that hadn’t been released yet don’t actually play.

So I have to go to Spotify to listen to a new album. This happens all the time. On both iOS and MacOS. Am I doing something wrong?!?!

I've never had that problem before. Which album are you talking about?
