Linking to Preorder a song on iTunes

Hello - I have a song coming out next month - and the preorder is available on iTunes now. I’m able to search for it just fine in the iTunes Store, but when I copy the link, and send to my friends and family, an error comes up saying:


“Item Not Available: the item you’ve requested is not currently available in Apple Music in the United States.”


Well, yes, it won’t be available until it’s out, but the link prevents the user from landing on the page to preorder. Can you help?

Getting this to work on my end involved tinkering with the URL a lot to open the iTunes Store instead of Apple Music. I’m using a random album that’s for preorder as an example. Does this approach work for your preorder song?
