Former president Barack Obama recently shared his annual list of his favorite songs, and it features music from Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and many more of 2024's top hitters.
Obama, who also shares his favorite movies and favorite books every year, posted his music picks over the weekend.
First up on his list was “Squabble Up” by Kendrick Lamar. Elsewhere on his list, “Band4band” by Central Cee and Lil Baby, “Jump” by Tyla, Gunna, and Skillibeng, and “Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyoncé also appeared.
When it came to viral hits, Obama let the world know that he’s always tuned in. His list features “Kehlani” by Jordan Adetunji, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” by Shaboozey, and “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman.
Stepping out of the worlds of R&B and rap, Obama also put a spotlight on “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” by Karol G, “Too Sweet,” by Hozier, and “Lunch” by Billie Eilish.
Obama’s year-end list looks a bit different from his summer playlist that he shared back in October. At the time, he put songs like “My Best” by Saweetie, “Wanna Be” by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion, and “Whiskey Whiskey” by Moneybagg Yo and Morgan Wallen on his list of favorites.
Notably, both “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “Million Dollar Baby” were on the summer list, too.
