US President Barack Obama has shared his workout playlist, and it features Icona Pop and Courtney Barnett.
It also features the Black Eyed Peas, Sting, Nina Simone, The Isley Brothers, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Forro In The Dark, and Bob Marley.
Obama's shared the playlist as part of his duties guest-editing next month's issue of WIRED.
It's not the first time he's thrown up a playlist - the famously musical Prez has annual summer playlists to keep us up to date with what he's rockin' out to.
Check out Pitchfork's excellent look at Obama’s Musical Milestones.
