Prueba esto
SELECT d.y, d.m, p.cnt
FROM
(SELECT a.y, b.m
FROM (SELECT 2015 AS Y UNION ALL SELECT 2014 AS Y) a
CROSS JOIN (SELECT 1 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 4 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 5 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 6 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 7 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 8 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 9 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 10 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 11 AS m UNION ALL SELECT 12 AS m) b
WHERE CONCAT(a.y, '-', b.m, '-01') BETWEEN CURDATE() - INTERVAL 13 MONTH AND CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
ORDER BY 1, 2) d
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT YEAR(purchasedate) AS Y ,MONTH(purchasedate) AS m, COUNT(*) cnt FROM purchase WHERE productid=1001 AND purchasedate >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 YEAR GROUP BY m, Y) p ON d.m=p.m AND d.y=p.y
ORDER BY 1 DESC, 2
No está haciendo nada malo, pero MySQL no puede devolver filas de meses que no existen en su conjunto de datos. Para resolver este problema, debe proporcionar todos los meses usted mismo (tabla d en esta consulta) y LEFT JOIN con los resultados de su conjunto de datos
