Imagine that you’re James Corden. You’re that friendly, loveable guy from ‘The History Boys’, ‘Gavin and Stacey’…and also the guy that did ‘Lesbian Vampire Killers’ (but let’s forget about that one). How do you top getting Adele, Stevie Wonder and Justin Bieber (three times) to do Carpool Karaoke? Answer: you need to go further up the fame chain. You need to go almost as high as you can get. You need to get Michelle Obama in the car.

And get Michelle Obama in he did.

It’s pretty remarkable to think of how popular Carpool Karaoke has become on YouTube. Anticipation for this latest edition was so high that this new 14-minute video even had its own teaser trailer (viewed six million times) that was released days before the clip went live. Carpool Karaoke is massive. It’s so massive that other late night talk show hosts (since a talk shows’ success is somewhat measured by the virality of their video features these days) must be sweating with jealousy.

Back to this new clip - it didn’t disappoint. The pair sang Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé as they drove around the White House grounds, before Missy Elliot dropped in to sing ‘This Is For My Girls’.

The pair also got time to chat and, much like the Barack Obama ‘Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee’ video with Jerry Seinfeld, it was fascinating to hear about normal life in the White House, from codenames to ordering grilled cheese sandwiches at 3am.

Where does Corden go from here? Who can you possibly invite to help you get to work now that you’ve had the actual MICHELLE OBAMA? Fans have been clamouring for a Taylor Swift Carpool Karaoke for some time, but we’ll have to wait and see if anything materialises…

1. First up is when James Corden bricked it on the roller coaster with Selena Gomez. Gomez seemed pretty chill, but as the ride hurtled downwards, Corden screamed “OH MY GOD!”

2. If wrestling the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ frontman Anthony Kiedis on a randomer’s front lawn wasn’t enough – only a couple of minutes later the majority of the car was topless and belting out ‘The Zephyr Song’.

3. Next up is when Corden formed a band with Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato. Where did they play their first gig? On the street of course. Where else would have them? ;)

4. Remember that time when George Clooney and Julia Roberts joined Corden and Gwen Stefani to sing ‘Hollaback Girl’? Yeah, Clooney *nailed* it. More videos of George Clooney singing please.

5. If you had a singing voice like Jennifer Hudson, you’d sing all the time, wouldn’t you? Turns out the actual Jennifer Hudson does just that, even ordering at the drive-thru via the medium of song: “YAAAS! I’d like a cheeeeeseburgerrr”.

6. When Skrillex and Diplo released the MASSIVE ‘Where Are Ü Now’, featuring Justin Bieber, even non-Beliebers lost it. So it was only appropriate that Corden lost his s**t with the actual Justin Bieber to that very same song.

7. Stevie Wonder is an incredible artist. Everyone knows this. But not only is he very funny, he’s also kinda sweet, making Corden tear up when he called up James’ wife (a huge Stevie Wonder fan) to tell her that James loved her.

8. One Direction’s ‘No Control’ always needed the proper video treatment. So THANK THE LORD that Corden decided to choregraph a dance a routine for One Direction’s ‘No Control’ with One Direction. Oh, and check that DENIM.

9. When Adele rapped Minaj’s verse from Kanye’s ‘Monster’ and she SMASHED it. Is this the best moment on Carpool Karaoke yet? Probably. Adele is an incredible human being, and pretty much everything that comes out of her mouth is gold. Long live Adele.

10. When you’ve been on a lonnnggg road trip to San Francisco, there’s probably no better way to finish the day off than having a lil’ spoon with Chris Martin in bed. Right? We’re right. We know we’re right.
