The playlist, which was released to celebrate Commonwealth Day, includes Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and even South Africa's Miriam Makeba.
"Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others," King Charles said in a trailer for the show while sitting at an antique desk in Buckingham Palace.
"It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places.
"But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy," he added.
