Need a cool new playlist for summer, or maybe for the gym? Former US president Barack Obama has revealed his and former first lady Michelle Obama’s 2019 summer playlist.

The list of 44 songs includes a variety of genres and moods, from Stevie Wonder to one of the biggest songs of 2019, Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road, and MOOD 4 EVA from the new Lion King album by Beyoncé.

“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,” the former president wrote on Twitter. “Hope you enjoy,” Obama tweeted.

Theres a Spotify playlist curated by Michelle Obama dedicated towards Barak, the first song that played was Kendrick, and I don't think I've been more in love with them.

For folks who like numbers AND music, u gotta love @BarackObama only picked 44 songs for his summer jam playlist.

45 would've been...just wrong. https://t.co/fQDmjs1NuG
