These musicians found out they were on President Obama’s playlist and rightly lost their minds

Musicians are used to having all kinds of fans, and they’re probably not too surprised when celebs are into them, too. After all, who can blame the celebs, right?

But when they find out they’re on President Obama’s official Spotify playlist, it’s a whole other story.

We imagine they’d feel like this:

Here’s POTUS’s 2016 Summer Playlist:

Been waiting to drop this: summer playlist, the encore. What's everybody listening to? pic.twitter.com/mqh1YVrycj

I mean, we’d love to see ~The President~ rocking out to Jay Z’s “So Ambitious,” Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Green Aphrodisiac,” or D’Angelo’s “Lady” — amirite? With such a great musical range — from Billie Holiday and Miles Davis to the Beach Boys and Common — we’d def get behind this list. Oh, and ICYMI, the White House playlists started in August 2015. Smart move if you ask us.

And Hillary Clinton has been known to create Spotify playlists, too.

We ~love~ President Obama’s choices, but how did the artists themselves react?

They were appreciative:

I knew this guy made great choices. Thx for adding me to your summer playlist sir! @POTUS https://t.co/ZQOlqTibVA

And honored:

What an honor! "Green Aphrodisiac" is featured on @POTUS's @Spotify Summer Playlist! 💚 💙 ❤️ https://t.co/1bYUwKebff https://t.co/eZjzBU99R4

And comical:

Wow. Swank you Mr. President. I'd like to imagine that @POTUS suits up to #classicman before boarding Air Force 1 https://t.co/NCVzhVOkAf

And sarcastic:

No big deaaaaaaaaal. #daytime #potus #goodcompany https://t.co/4Sm64HTYyn

And some artists, like Billie Holiday, were making their second appearance on ~The List~:

#LadyDay makes the @POTUS list two years in a row! https://t.co/iexix5Fgev

Others made a great point that music is music, regardless of political affiliation:

Mingus is on the @POTUS playlist that's pretty lit regardless of how you feel about his politics https://t.co/LmoXXZRh2P

And some even thought it was more like an after-hours playlist:

⚡ Let's face it, the @POTUS 'night' playlist may as well have been Let's Get It On ten times in a row 💋💕https://t.co/Z8ISYXJvnL

Regardless of the playlist’s tone, all we know is this: We want to download all these songs right now. Brb.
