King Charles III has a diverse taste in music! On March 10, the monarch marked the Commonwealth Day with his customary message. To further celebrate the occasion, he released his personal playlist on Apple Music.

“Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others,” the King said while announcing the project on Friday, March 7. He noted that music can resurrect happy moments from the “deepest recesses” of memory.

It also brings people comfort at the low points of their lives and momentarily teleports them to a different world. Above all, music can lift spirits to a great degree, bring people joy, and bring them “together in celebrations.”

His playlist included hit bops like Bob Marley & The Wailers’s Could You Be Loved, Kylie Minogue’s The Loco-Motion, and Beyoncé’s Crazy in Love featuring Jay Z.

The list also included world music like the Afrobeats and R&B song Kante, Ghanaian singer Daddy Lumba’s Mpempem Do Me, New Zealand opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa’s E Te Iwi E, and others.

The monarch revealed his playlist during an Apple Music 1 radio special called The King’s Music Room. The special started with Bob Marley & The Wailers’s hit Reggae beat song. Check out the complete list of songs below:
