Barack Obama's favorite songs list 2019 includes Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen
The former president, Barack Obama, has not withheld his musical passions before and this year is no different as he has shared a list of his favorite songs for 2019.
Obama usually shares a few lists such as this, including his favorite books and movies, and it has become an annual tradition. He has many a time shown us not only his musical tastes and interests but his talents as well, as he has been on camera singing quite a few times. In 2012, The Reverend Al Green attended one of Obama's speeches and he decided to pay tribute to the soul legend by singing a bit from ‘Let’s Stay Together’. Perhaps one of Obama's greatest performances came when he gave his rendition on 'Amazing Grace' in June 2015, sometimes regarded as rather a difficult one to pull off, considering it has been done many times before by multiple artists and performers.
With the former POTUS including a little more variation, the 2019 list features hip-hop, R&B, soul, country and more.
Obama tweeted yesterday, "From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick."
The list below includes songs that were part of the former POTUS' summer playlist.
