Obama reveals his summer playlist

Former President Obama on Saturday unveiled his and former first lady Michelle Obama’s 2019 summer playlist.

“With summer winding down, here’s a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to — some new, some old, some fast, some slow. Hope you enjoy,” Barack Obama posted on Twitter and Instagram.

The playlist of 44 songs — a nod to Obama’s status as the country’s 44th president — features a mix of genres, including pop and rock. Among the artists who made the list: Drake, Rihanna, Lizzo, Stevie Wonder and The Black Keys.{mosads}

It also includes hits such as “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus and “Señorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
