Listen to President Obama's Summer Playlist

Last year, the White House jumped on Spotify to post President Obama's summer playlist.

Today, we've got the encore.

President Obama is once again sharing his summer picks -- an eclectic mix of hand-selected tracks on two lists that take listeners from day to night. The vacation playlists feature legendary songs from Prince and Aretha Franklin, some more recent tracks from hip hop artists like Common and Chance the Rapper and the musical styles of Manu Chao and Caetano Veloso.

So check out what President Obama is listening to this summer. Browse the full playlists and listen to many of the tracks on our Spotify here: Daytime and Nighttime
