Barack Obama has unveiled his annual summer playlist, opening this year’s selections with a tribute to the late Glen Hansard. The former president kicked off the list with Hansard’s “Song of Good Hope,” writing, “It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.” He also apparently has Drake, Future, and Molly Santana’s “Ran to Atlanta” in rotation. The playlist arrives shortly after Obama shared his 2026 summer reading list, continuing his beloved and longstanding tradition of recommending books and music to the public.
