If you thought your playlist had a wide range of genres, wait until you see the songs on Barack Obama [1]'s. On 10 July, the former president shared his annual summer playlist [2], and it's filled with classic jazz favourites, like Ella Fitzgerald's "Lush Life", and popular TikTok tunes, like Masked Wolf's "Astronaut in the Ocean".

"With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there's a lot to celebrate this summer [3]", Obama wrote on Twitter. His playlist certainly has a lot to offer, including music for a night out, a backyard family BBQ, and more. After all, Obama did say that "it's a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between". Ahead, we've rounded up all of his picks so that you can listen in one place.
