Obama’s year-end playlist is here.
As the year comes to a close, the 44th President of the United States is once again sharing his favorite music of 2019 with a playlist on Spotify.
The 35 tracks kick off with Summer Walker’s Over It hit “Playing Games.” The list includes two of 2019’s biggest hits, Lizzo’s “Juice” and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (Remix)” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. DaBaby also earns a spot with his breakout hit “Suge,” while Solange’s “Binz,” J. Cole’s “MIDDLE CHILD,” and Frank Ocean’s “In My Room” also make the cut.
Obama pays homage to the AfroBeats and Latin wave with global hits from Burna Boy (“Anybody”), Rosalía (“Con Altura”), and Ozuna (“Baila Baila Baila (Remix)”).
