Why can I no longer preview songs in the iTunes store?

Why can I no longer preview songs in the iTunes store? In the past when visiting th store, I could search for a song or artist, review the list of songs that appeared and play a short clip of the song (30 seconds?) Now when I visit the iTunes Store and search for a song or artist and click on the song list, I get a pop-up to “Try Apple Music for 3 months” free OR “No Thanks” and NO PREVIEW!

I also noted the only options on the bottom are my Library and Radio. Why can I no longer “shop” the iTunes Store and review songs?

You need to use the iTunes Store app if you want to preview and/or buy and download music, not the Music app (that only lets you use Apple Music, not access iTunes Store music ; if you don't want Apple Music to show you can turn it off via Settings > Music)

I thought there was access to the iTunes Store from the Music app, my bad. I guess I was not thinking specific app, but assumed I could select Music and go to the store and preview. My search turned up the artist I was looking for, but no preview. Thanks Mr King (or is it Mr Penguin?)
