Former President Barack Obama is giving us insight into the songs that made it onto his playlists this year.
Obama released his favorite music of 2023 on his social media accounts on Friday and wrote, "Here are some of my favorite songs from this year. Let me know if there are any artists or songs I should check out."
The former president made sure to represent a variety of genres, from country and reggaetón to indie rock and electronic music, in the list of 28 tracks. Regional Mexican star Peso Pluma, who was recently named YouTube's most-streamed artist of the year, made the cut, as well as Latin Grammys all-stars Karol G and Shakira. Chart-topping duo Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves, who joined forces on "I Remember Everything," also found their way onto Obama's list.
Burna Boy and 21 Savage's “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” as well as Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma's "La Bebe (Remix)" celebrated their second mentions, as the tracks were also named in Obama's summer songs list.
