Some music does get removed from the Apple Music catalogue and it’s not Apple doing it, it would be on the Artist or record label. It could be available in some regions. I tried finding it and got nothing,

Seems to be available for me: ‎Speak & Spell by Depeche Mode on Apple Music


But yes, as mentioned, artists or record labels (rights holders) are responsible for their content in the iTunes Store and Apple Music. Apple does not manage that.

And due to licensing and distribution deals, being available in one place does not mean they'll be available in the other.


Sometimes media is only available for purchase, but not for streaming, or vice-versa.

Of course it is never recommended to change stores to another region (unless you’re moving there) or this will result in a big mess and delete your Apple Music! I can see now how people accidentally switch stores.

Yup and Yup. Availability varies by region and changing stores can lead to a bunch of issues.


And yes my link is for the U.S Apple Music.
