"Behold: the 2012 campaign playlist on Spotify. What would you add to it? (No casting aspersions on Earth, Wind, & Fire, now.)," reads the statement on Obama's Web site.
On the list is James Taylor's "Your Smiling Face," Aretha Franklin's "The Weight," Jennifer Hudson's "Love You I Do," and Al Green's "Let's Get Together," among other singles. Sugarland received two nods from the commander-in-chief with their songs "Stand Up" and "Everyday America."
Obama has utilized major social media outlets to generate buzz since his 2008 campaign, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and now Spotify.
