Noah And The Whale, Arcade Fire and Florence And The Machine are amongst the artists that have made it on to US President Barack Obama's Spotify playlist.
The official playlist for Obama's 2012 presidential campaign is said to "feature[s] picks by the campaign staff - including a few of President Obama's favorites."
The playlist also includes the new Bruce Springsteen single 'We Take Care Of Our Own', as well as Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together', which Obama sang a snippet of at a recent campaign fundraiser in New York.
Wilco, No Doubt and Aretha Franklin's version of The Band's 'The Weight' also appear on the playlist, as do REO Speedwagon, ELO, James Taylor and U2. To listen to the full playlist, go to Spotify.com
UK Prime Minister David Cameron recently revealed that he is a big fan of Lana Del Rey and Band Of Horses. The Conservative Party leader previously expressed his love of Florence And The Machine, The Killers, The xx and, most famously, The Smiths.
His well known love of The Smiths was not welcomed by either Morrissey or Johnny Marr, with Marr saying that he would "forbid" the Prime Minister from liking his former band.
When he was Chancellor, Gordon Brown, who went on to become Prime Minister before Cameron, once admitted to a fondness for Arctic Monkeys saying that their music "really wakes you up in the mornings".
