Obama picks Wizkid's smile for 2020 playlist

Former US President Barack Obama has released his 2020 summer playlist.

Smile, a song by Nigerian singer Wizkid, is among 53 songs in the list.

Others in the collection are Beyonce, Rihanna, Nas, J. Cole, Nina Simone and Frank Ocean.

Mr Obama said some of the songs will be played during this week's Democratic National Convention which opened last night.

The former US president launched the summer playlist while in office in 2015.

Over the past few months, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to music with my family. I wanted to share some of my favorites from the summer—including songs from some of the artists at this week’s @DemConvention. Hope you enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/2ZFwdN46jR
