Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Shaboozey Headline Barack Obama’s Favorite Songs of 2024

Months after sharing his summer playlist, Barack Obama has returned with another update on just what he’s been listening to this year. Over the weekend, the former president used his social media accounts to share his favorite songs of 2024.

Predictably, there are offerings from folks like Kendrick Lamar (“Squabble Up”), Beyoncé (“Texas Hold ‘Em”), and Shaboozey (“A Bar Song (Tipsy)”). Each of those three have spent time at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year, so fairly obvious picks. But Obama’s got others on his list, too, with Billie Eilish, Rema, Jordan Adentunji and others all grabbing slots on this year’s list.
