With less than a week left in the year, former President Barack Obama has revealed his top 2022 songs. From Beyoncé to SZA, the 44th President of the United States keeps his finger on the music pulse.
Obama’s 25-song playlist includes Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-nominated song “The Heart Part 5,” Ari Lennox’s “POF,” Bad Bunny’s “Tit Me Preguntó,” and Rosala’s “Saoko.”
And no playlist would be complete without Beyoncé, whose Renaissance hit “Break My Soul” is included. Other Obama-approved jams include Steve Lacy’s “Sunshine” featuring Fousheé and Koffee’s “Pull Up,” while Burna Boy’s smash “Last Last” and Ayra Starr’s “Rush” also receive a co-sign.
SZA’s “Shirt,” Lizzo’s “About Damn Time,” and Adam Blackstone and Jazmine Sullivan’s “‘Round Midnight” round out the presidential selections.
Obama has also shared his favorite movies and books from the past year, in addition to music.
“I always enjoy sharing my end-of-year music playlist with all of you, and this year we heard a lot of great songs. “Here are some of my favorites,” Obama wrote in response to his followers’ suggestions.
