21 Songs You'll Hear — and Love — During Season 1 of The Politician

02/10/2019 - 03:50 PM

It shouldn't be a surprise that The Politician [1] on Netflix has an amazing soundtrack. After all, series creator Ryan Murphy [2] has a knack for putting together fun, unexpected music choices for his shows. Like Glee, the dark comedy The Politician [3] does feature some of its cast members [4] (including Tony winner Ben Platt [5]) bursting into song right there on screen, but it's also got an eclectic, quirky mix of music for its background score [6] as well, bringing in both retro sounds and contemporary music — all while mostly avoiding overused Top 40 hits. Tracks of the cast's songs aren't available yet, but for now, keep reading to see what existing songs pop up in The Politician soundtrack.
