Occupying the number one spot is the song ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ which was recorded by Nigerian-American country music singer, Shaboozey.
Sharing the now-viral playlist via his X handle, Obama tweeted, “With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to!”
This year’s playlist as usual, featured songs from various artistes across different genres and continents.
