It appears to have come back to the USA Apple website and has it own page called "FREE on iTunes" with 16 Free songs and Full-Length TV Episodes also listed. Sort of like the good old days when there was a dedicated page to see all the Free items in one location. As with others who commented here, I was not planning to stop by on a weekly basis and look at the iTunes Store without the free song download. The free song made me look at what they had to offer, I wonder if apple say their weekly website hits drop after they let the Free Music go.

Has it come back in other countries at this time?

Missing my Single of the Week Tuesday download. I thought this was Apple's way of giving a little back. What happened? Bad decision!

Jan 15, 2015 7:51 AM in response to Bob Foss

I totally agree.. I was introduced to a significant number of artists. Another bad Apple!

You're only reason of going to the iTunes store was for that one free song each week?

Jan 15, 2015 3:36 PM in response to Bob Foss

Thanks for calling them. Too bad they made this choice. They're not required to give free things of course, but it takes one thing from the pro-Apple column.

The single of the week has returned - kind of. Still looking at it now - 9to5mac has a link to it. Apparently only available to the US. Here is the link:
