What’s playing at the RNC convention? Here’s the unofficial playlist.

MILWAUKEE — There has been extensive reporting on what the Republican National Convention looks like, but what about what the convention sounds like?

Our journalists on the ground here have been keeping track of the songs they have heard in and around Fiserv Forum.

“Celebration” by Kool & The Gang blasted through the speakers when former president Donald Trump reached the number of delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination during the official roll call.

Meanwhile, Lee Greenwood himself performed “Holdin’ a Good Hand” in between speakers on the second night, with delegates dancing in the aisles. The Grammy award-winning singer also signed copies of his “God Bless the USA Bible,” which have been on sale at the convention all week. (Copies signed by Trump are available online for $1,000).

Country singer Chris Janson performed his 2015 single “Buy Me a Boat,” as well as “Every Day of The Week,” on the first day. And the music video for “Trump Trump Baby” by Forgiato Blow, which was shown on the jumbotron, featured model and TV personality Amber Rose, who was also a speaker at the RNC.

Over the years, some musical artists have explicitly asked the Trump campaign not to use their music at his events, including Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna and more.

Here’s what the RNC has been listening to:

This playlist will continue to update throughout the convention.
