accidentally deleted album/songs are somehow deleted in my purchases too?!

Hello there,


I just wanted to delete a specific song on my iPhone, but instead of just that particular song, it deleted the whole album for some reason.


I tried to find it in my library on my phone to redownload it, but it is not there anymore.


So I tried to find it on my Mac but it vanished there from iTunes too.


I then logged in to iTunes store, and selected the “purchases”. This specific album is neither in the “all” section, nor in the “not in my library” section as well.


I thought, well … it’s kind of my fault so I will purchase it again … but if I select it in the store to buy, it says, that I already purchased it and I can’t download it again.


There is no backup on my Mac jet, because I just got it and didn’t download all the songs so far to my hard drive.


Is there another way to recover these deleted songs/album?


Thanks a million,

Mel
