Does Apple Music contain every album and song in iTunes store

When I open Apple Music and search in the iTunes Store (I select iTunes Store in the top right for my search), I can see the album I'm looking for. But when I select Apple Music in the search and search for the album, I don't see it.


Does this mean the album is available for purchase, but it isn't available via Apple Music Subscription?

I confirm, it seems that on iTunes Store the whole album is available while on Apple Music only one track is available.


It's up to Apple-producer/label which songs/albums are included in the streaming service.

Ye if you search for this in the iTunes Store, you can see it. But you don't see it in Apple Music.


For example I'm looking for the "final fantasy xiv pulse rise" song, which can be found in this album (on the iTunes Store):

But I don't see it in Apple Music.


Also this album as well:

I'm guessing the producers of the song don't want it to be available in Apple Music.

Got the same issue again with another song.


Children of the Sun (feat. Merethe Soltvedt). I can listen to this on Youtube Music, but it doesn't appear to be available on Apple Music. However I do see it on the iTunes Store.


This is very annoying how various songs that I frequent do not appear on Apple Music. I guess Apple Music doesn't work for my niche requirements.
