Barack Obama Releases 2024 Summer Playlist

Former President Barack Obama released his 2024 summer playlist, featuring a mix of contemporary hits, timeless classics, and indie gems, continuing a tradition he started in 2015. Notable inclusions are Charli XCX's '365,' Beyoncé's 'Texas Hold 'Em,' and Billie Eilish's 'Chihiro,' alongside older tracks like Bob Dylan's 'Silvio' and The Rolling Stones' '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.' The playlist reflects Obama's eclectic taste, with contributions from various genres including hip-hop, afrobeats, and classic rock.
