Listed as Lossless in the States. Anyone getting Atmos in the US?

If every track on an album is not Atmos, it won't get the Atmos tag (can we have an FAQ post for this, it comes up daily). There are a few songs on Diamonds that are just lossless so the Album doesn't get the tag.
 
This is just amazing! Looks like we might wind up with more or less the entire Gainsbourg studio catalog in Atmos. (And for the most part, I love the way they're handling the mixes, even/especially on the older material.) Rock Around the Bunker isn't available in the US yet, but it took us a while to get Gainsbourg Percussions from the first batch, too. Speaking of which, here's a good introduction to Gainsbourg for non-Francophone listeners:

Could Jacques Brel be next? Barclay is also owned by Universal these days, and god knows the handful of nominal 5.1 mixes they did in the early aughts left a lot of room for improvement....

The Atmos category is totally empty at the moment here in Germany in Apple Music. When I click on 3D audio only the discription is shown.
That's kinda weird, cause I've scored a number of new titles this morning and I see the new EJ feature right now on my phone. BTW, the highlights:

If Bridge of Sighs gets an Atmos treatment (streaming), then my endeavor that I'm just now joining will all be worth it! Imagine......
Already dreaming before you've even started streaming... Why not?

Hopefully you can find a few hundred hours of worthwhile content to keep you occupied while you wait.

The soybean farmers in Nebraska have a saying:
Wish in one hand and (poop) in the other, see which fills up first. ;)

Anyone else notice the new icon on Apple Music? Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos
View attachment 77259
Maybe this is a sign that other spatial formats (such as 360 Reality Audio) are coming soon?

More likely some legal issue with Dolby that they felt like Apple wasn't mentioning them enough by just calling it Spatial Audio (but I don't have any knowledge, just my guess). Notice that the boilerplate at the bottom of the Spatial Audio page also now has the phrase "Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos". Wonder where Dolby Audio fits in...
