Barack Obama Unveils Brat Summer Playlist 2024 Featuring Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Beyoncé And More

As an ardent music enthusiast and long-time follower of Barack Obama’s playlists, I can honestly say that his summer 2024 selection is nothing short of extraordinary! The way he effortlessly bridges the gap between generations, showcasing both up-and-coming artists and timeless classics, never fails to amaze me.


Former President Barack Obama has unveiled his eagerly awaited summer 2024 playlist, staying in tune with the ‘brat summer’ vibe. Consistently, he chooses a diverse collection of music that appeals across generations, and this year is no different. This year’s playlist encompasses artists like Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Beyoncé, H.E.R, Saweetie, Bob Marley, and many others.

Obama’s summer playlist gathers a mix of popular new songs and enduring classics, featuring artists ranging from up-and-coming stars like Tommy Richman and Paul Russell to iconic figures such as Bob Dylan, 2Pac, and The Rolling Stones. His skillful blend of contemporary hits with timeless tracks has made his playlists a unique blend that spans generations.

In this updated playlist, you’ll find tunes like Charli XCX’s catchy 365, which captures the ‘brat summer’ mood, as well as Beyoncé’s country-tinged anthem Texas Hold’Em. Billie Eilish is present too with Chihiro, showcasing her ongoing impact on modern music. Moreover, several Afrobeats tracks can be found here – for instance, Rema’s Yayo, Tems’ Love Me Jeje, and Tyla’s Jump – demonstrating the playlist’s wide global reach.

As summer comes to a close, I thought it was a good time to let you know about the tunes I’ve been enjoying recently – my collection always has a diverse selection. I trust there might be something fresh for your ears!

Barack Obama delves into the realm of classic tunes as well. Hearing Blackstreet’s No Diggity will evoke a wave of nostalgia, while Digable Planets’ Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat) truly embodies its title. The Supremes offer some ageless rock ‘n’ soul moments with Where Did Our Love Go, and for jazz enthusiasts, there are Charles Mingus’ Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting and Pharoah Sanders’ Love Is Everywhere. Additionally, you’ll find a diverse mix that includes 2Pac ft. K-Ci & JoJo’s How Do U Want It, GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion’s Wanna Be, Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me, and other tracks as well.

It seems that some fans have pointed out the lack of Chappell Roan and Kendrick Lamar in Billboard’s playlist, while Charli XCX is enjoying success with her number 1 U.K. single on Billboard. Recently, her tweet about Kamala Harris, “Kamala IS Brat,” became popular, and she’s now included on Obama’s summer playlist. Obama has also chosen songs like Shaboozey’s A Bar Song (Tipsy) from Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richman for his playlist as well.
