Several Lady Gaga albums now show as Atmos - it's fun hearing the early-2010s hits in surround:
The mix quality varies wildly on these! A few of the early hits ("Bad Romance", "Just Dance", "LoveGame") have been around as singles for a while and all sound like they were mixed by the same person. I wouldn't say they're spectacular, but an effort was made to craft an immersive experience using all the channels and it's fun hearing the vocals isolated in the center speaker. Dynamics also seem a bit better than the original stereo mixes.

On the other side of the spectrum, you have tracks like "Telephone" and "The Edge Of Glory" that sound like they were run through some kind of unwrap/upmix process. It's basically the stereo mix in front, with some effects and the odd instrument/vocal duplicated at a lower level in the side or rear channels. The center and heights get little-to-no signal.
 
I don't see this one on Tidal? Anyone else?
Not available on Tidal but you’ll find the previous albums 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Another one of apple’s exclusive DJ mixes from their monthly radio show, and in Atmos. Very mellow vibes, IDM (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada) style. Kinda dance-y, but kinda thinky. Very fun Atmos mix so far.
I'm enjoying this one so far. The most discrete Atmos DJ mix so far to my ears. Engaging- first track probably my least favourite, so persistence pays off on this one.
 
Something wacky is happening on Apple Music that needs to be fixed LOL.

Every UB40 studio album ever released shows as Atmos, but none of the tracks are Atmos. Same with two versions of Ultimate Sinatra...edit, all Sinatra's studio albums have the logo and none play any track in Atmos...ARGH!!

And edit again...updating to the latest firmware did the trick and now Atmos doesn't show on every album in all of AM!!
