Former U.S. President Barack Obama has upheld his tradition of curating a summer playlist by unveiling his 2024 selection on his official X account.
The post has quickly garnered more than 11 million views and 84,000 likes, indicating that the playlist has struck a chord with a wide audience.
“As summer winds down, I wanted to share some songs I’ve been listening to lately—and it wouldn’t be my playlist without an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to!” Obama wrote on X.
Among the selected artists are Nigeria’s rising stars, Tems and Rema, who have earned coveted spots on the prestigious playlist.
Obama’s playlist also features Charli XCX’s “365,” Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” “Wanna Be” by Glorilla & Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish’s “CHIHIRO,” as well as classic tracks like 2Pac’s “How Do U Want It” featuring K-Ci & JoJo and Bob Dylan’s “Silvio.”
In a recent interview with influencer Carter Gregory (thecarterb), Obama shared that his daughters, Sasha and Malia, significantly influence his musical preferences, helping him stay updated and expand his musical repertoire.
