Obama's summer playlist raises eyebrows with Charli Xcx pick

Barack Obama, former president of the United States, as he does every summer, shared a playlist featuring his favourite songs. Among his top picks is the track "365" from the album "BRAT." The politician is facing accusations of being a poser.

This summer gave us no choice. The vacation season unquestionably belonged to Charli Xcx. Although many great albums were released in 2024, sorry, not sorry - the June release by the British artist outclassed the competition (at least in the category of the best summer album). Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish? Never heard of them.

BRAT SUMMER was everywhere, and it became not just a musical trend but also a practiced lifestyle. Fast life, fast sunglasses, spontaneous trips, dates, nights out in the city: Charli Xcx provided fans with a justification for being financially irresponsible and emotionally immature.

Does listening to such turboprop (that is, pop, hyper pop, British rave-inspired music) align with the character of Barack Obama, the former president of the United States? Probably not really, and that’s why the politician had to explain that his playlist, which includes WILLOW, Beyoncé, SZA, Stevie Wonder, Ice Spice and Bad Bunny, also features Charli Xcx and her signature song about doing lines and partying.

People didn’t believe Obama listens to Charli Xcx

“You know, I just put out my playlist and "365" is on it. People question sometimes whether I'm actually listening to all this music as I've testified before. Charli Xcx, she knows what she's doing,” said the former president of the USA on the "I've Had It" podcast. He added that his daughters help him stay updated with trends, and they often send him new tracks to check out.

Barack Obama has been publishing his playlist every year since 2015, showcasing a variety of music genres. From Bob Dylan to Charli Xcx—the politician is the perfect embodiment of the phrase "I listen to everything." And although the matter seems trivial, in the USA, Obama's summer playlists are a really big deal.
