Have you ever wanted to know what politicians or famous journalists listen to on Spotify? Look no further! Here you will find all their guilty pleasures!
Guilty Pleasures: These are the Spotify playlists of politicians and more
Just like the rest of the world, politicians and other famous people are only too happy to listen to Spotify. But what music do they listen to? That tells the website Panama Playlists you. Here you discover the Guilty Pleasures of American politicians to famous people from the tech industry.

Take JD Vance, the American vice president. Under his carefully chosen songs are hits such as ‘I Want It Way’ from the Backstreet Boys and ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One Direction. Two big boy bands, where many teenage girls were in love with in the nineties.
While Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the White House, listens to songs such as ‘Run the World (Girls)’ by Beyoncé and ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ by Cyndi Lauper.
But tech bosses also have quite surprising music flavors. Sam Altman (the big name behind OpenAi) enjoys ‘Get UR Freak on’ from Missy Elliott, while Chris Lacivita (campaign leader of Trump) enjoys the legendary film music by John Williams. And media figures such as Kashmir Hill (New York Times) show their alternative side with music from Aphex Twin.
For example, the playlists of Spotify were found
The owner of the website was able to get the data in a devious way. He has found the real accounts of these famous people on Spotify and stored the audience shared playlists. Some even had the option that you could see which songs they recently listened to.
Of course you never know one hundred percent sure if they are actually the playlists of those people, but Mike Isaac of the New York Times has already admitted on X (former Twitter) that the playlist of him is correct.
