Hillary Clinton's Spotify playlist is here — and it's pretty boring

Hillary Clinton's campaign playlist isn't exactly edgy. It's definitely trying to cater to the youth vote — the oldest track is Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud," from 1999 — but Clinton sticks mainly to safe pop hits from the past few years, like Pharrell William's "Happy" and Katy Perry's "Roar." Two songs by American Authors, "Best Day of My Life" and "Believer," tilt more toward the mainstream indie crowd. Marc Anthony's "Vivir Mi Vida" might as well be the token track for the Latino vote.

Women are featured as vocalists on six of the 14 tracks. And, like Obama's playlist before her, Clinton steers clear of rap and hip-hop (then again, throwing a Kendrick track on her playlist might've been too edgy).
