Kamala Harris isn't the only Democratic politician claiming it's the summer of the bad girls. Barack Obama has shared his annual summer playlist, which features (as you might have guessed) the green queen herself, Charli XCX.

“As summer draws to a close, I wanted to share a few songs I’ve been listening to lately, and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix,” she wrote on Twitter“I hope you find something new to listen to!”
It's an eclectic mix, indeed. Other songs on the list include The Miracles' “You've Really Got a Hold on Me” and “No Diggity,” which comes from Blackstreet, Dr. Dre, and Queen Pen. Elsewhere, listeners will find songs from WILLOW, Nick Drake, Common, Norah Jones, Bad Bunny, Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Supremes, Beyoncé, GloRilla, Moneybagg Yo (yes, the one with Morgan Wallen), and more.
Yet of all the musical genres and decades represented, your favorite artist's favorite artist seems to have been ignored – i.e., no Chappell Roan. Rise and fall of a Midwestern princess The star's public refusal to perform at a White House Pride event had something to do with it…
