Emerging and lesser-known musicians made their first entries on Obamas playlist, such as singer-songwriter Indigo De Souza. Younger & Dumber, the first single from her second studio album, All of This Will End, made this years list.

The artist shared her elation on her Instagram: I cant even believe this.

Blondshell, whose alternative rock track Joiner made the list, was more succinct in her excitement, posting a three-letter response to Instagram: Bye.

Obama also featured several artists in Afrobeats, an umbrella term that encapsulates popular music and styles from West Africa and the larger diaspora that infuses Afro-pop, Caribbean soca and American hip-hop. The inclusion acknowledges the genres rising success since the late 2010s.

Nigerian-born singer Davido made an appearance with Unavailable, which features South African producer Musa Keys. The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and was nominated for a Grammy in the Best African Music Performance category. Also on this years mix from the genre, which received more than 13 billion Spotify streams last year, are Burna Boy, Tems, Asake and Olamide.
