Good afternoon StevenF0930,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are having issues searching for artists and albums in Apple Music on your iPhone 8 with iOS 14.
Do you have Apple Music on other devices in your home? Any issues with the same search criteria on another device?
Here are a few things you can try to address this issue:
- Check to make sure your iPhone is updated to iOS 14.0.1 - Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Restart your iPhone to refresh it and reestablish a connection to the internet.
- Check your Apple Music subscription to confirm it is active - See or cancel your subscriptions
- On the iPhone, open Settings > Music. Is "Show Apple Music" enabled?
- Check to make sure Sync Library is enabled - Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music
- Check Apple System Status to confirm there are no issues with the Apple Music service.
- Try a different network. If you are using Wi-Fi, switch to a cellular network, to test. (You may need to enable Cellular Data in Settings > Music).
If the issue persists, please reply to this thread and we'll do our best to help you!
Take care.
