Previously bought albums on iTunes

Having owned many different iPhones over the last 10 years every time I upgrade I seem to loose albums. They’re in the store and have ‘purchased’ beside them but I can’t download them onto my phone. Have just got the 11 pro max. I don’t have a computer. Is there a way to retrieve all my albums?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14
