It’s that time of the year again when Barack Obama shares a list of the songs he’s bumping in the Summer.
Obama made his official 2024 summer selections on August 12, and as usual, the list is filled with some releases out right now plus some from the past that are entertaining him in 2024. Take a look at the complete list below.
With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to! pic.twitter.com/aL400Ctpde

Some of the most interesting inclusions are Saweetie, GloRilla and Charli XCX while it’s pertinent to note that neither Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ nor any of the Drake songs made his list. Better to be on the safe side sir.
