00:00The roll call for the DNC Day 2 in Chicago was a party.
00:12And this year each state got their own track while certifying their votes.
00:16Here are some of the Hot 100 No. 1's used.
00:24Kamala Harris' home state used California Love for obvious reasons and also come to
00:29native Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us, sorry Drake.
00:37While Tim Walz's Minnesota used a medley of Prince songs including Kiss.
00:49Many anthems were from artists that called their state home.
00:52Michigan used Eminem, Indiana used MJ, Kentucky used Jack Harlow, and of course New York had
00:59to use Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
01:06Other hometown heroes included Puerto Rico's Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, Tennessee's
01:10Dolly Parton, Washington's Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and PA's Wiz Khalifa.
01:19Some went with classics unrelated to their state like Iowa using Kool and the Gang, Maryland's
01:24Aretha Franklin, and Democrats Abroad's Love Train.
01:35While some appeared to be completely unrelated like Wyoming using Black Eyed Peas and Nebraska
01:40using Katy Perry.
01:46And the talk of the evening was definitely Beyonce's home state of Texas.
01:55Not just because of their song choice or hopes that she might make an appearance at the DNC,
01:59but because Trump's campaign's spokesperson posted this on X.
02:09Using Beyonce's Freedom, which VP Kamala has been using as her walkout song and for
02:13her political ads.
02:19At press times, spokespeople for the Trump campaign and Beyonce had not returned Billboard's
02:24request for comment.
