55440

Explanation:

Jenna has 11 songs

For her first song in her playlist, she has 11 songs to choose from.

For her second song, she has 10 songs because she already chose a song as her 1st song on her playlist

Similary, she has 9 songs to pick for her third song on her playlist

Therefore, the number of playlists that she can create is 11×10×9×8×7=55440
