Former president Barack Obama has shared his favorite songs of the year, a tradition he upholds every year since leaving the Oval Office.
Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and more made it to his 2024 list! They are also some of the better tracks, such as Lamar's "Squabble Up," Beyoncé's "Texas Hold' Em," and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)."
Obama announced his picks on social media, encouraging fans to find some new tunes and "change up your playlist."
Also on the list are "Lunch" by Billie Eilish, "Kehlani" by Jordan Adetunji, and "Million Dollar Baby" by Tommy Richman. Tracks by Karol G, Central Cee, Hozier, and so many more also made it to his playlist.
