Why does does Spotify have albums that iTunes doesn’t ?

There’s a couple of albums namely Satellites by The big dish and Prince of the deep water by The Blessing which are available on Spotify but not on ITunes. It’s really frustrating. Any reason for this ?

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?

Unable to buy songs from iTunes Hello! There is a specific music album (Pride and Prejudice) that I have bought 1 song from before (off of iTunes), and I wanted to complete the album. But when I go onto the iTunes store, the album doesn't show up. I go onto my Music app and I find the song and when I hit "show complete album", the album shows up as well as the other songs. But it won't allow me to play/buy the other songs unless I sign up for a subscription of Apple Music, which I don't want. Is there any way to buy songs or buy the album without having to subscribe to Apple Music? Thanks.

The artists/labels have not made the recordings available to Apple. Spotify may have demanded an exclusive or the artists didn't want to be on iTunes or didn't like the terms on iTunes.
