Former President Barack Obama released his favorite tracks of 2019 on Monday, continuing the tradition of sharing his year-end lists of his favorite books, films and music.
Lizzo’s bop “Juice” lands among Obama’s favorites in a diverse list of artists that includes other prominent stars like Beyoncé (who performed the National Anthem at his inauguration) and Bruce Springsteen (to whom Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom).
“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 44th President tweeted.
The playlist features several songs in Spanish, and artists from a wide list of genres — from country to hip hop to Latin to rap. The list includes songs that also appeared on Obama’s summer playlist.
