Former U.S President Barack Obama has taken to twitter to share his favorite songs of 2019 prior to sharing his favorite books and movies.
“From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year,” said the former POTUS. “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.”
