Minnesota is among a collection of 16 states and one territory holding presidential nominating contests Tuesday in the main, multistate-voting event of the 2024 primary campaign; for that reason, it’s called Super Tuesday. The remaining states will vote through the summer and fall on their primary slates, so Super Tuesday is not the end of the primary season, but it’s certainly important because it’s the date when votes will be tallied from the most states at one time during the presidential primary cycle. For Minnesota voters, MPR News has more information about Super Tuesday, including what it means, and where and how to vote. 

Here at The Current, we’re acknowledging Super Tuesday the best way we know how: with music — in particular, by putting together a super playlist.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature the word “super”?
