Hi faustino68,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "want to download an album i bought dosent show up on my purchase or on my music

cant download it said purchased what can i du"

Wondering which Mac or device model you use, and which MacOS, iOS etc. version is installed.

If you haven't already: You could try searching the Library for that music.

Eg: for iPhone: View albums, playlists, and more in Music on iPhone - Apple Support

says:

✽ In the Music app, tap Library, then tap a category, such as Albums or Songs; tap Downloaded to view only music stored on iPhone.

✽ Scroll to browse or swipe down the page and type in the search field to filter your results and find what you’re looking for.

and

Apple support have an article online that may help: eg: previous purchases can generally be RE-downloaded.
