Those who follow *Barack Obama on Twitter know the former president of the USA shares his end of year playlist every December. So, what featured in his 2022 portfolio of favourite tunes?

Perhaps most surprisingly is *Lizzo’s About Damn Time, which samples the 1980’s hip hop hit Hey! DJ. Taken from her fourth album, the lyrics include ‘It’s bad bitch o’clock’.

Beyonce’s Break My Soul was also one of Obama’s top tunes last year. The song, which was released in June, was the lead single of Bey’s comeback album Renaissance.

Proving the ex-politician knows his music, Break My Soul has received three Grammy Award nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Dance / Electronic Recording.

Among the other *Grammy Award nominees are Adele, Harry Styles, and Mary J Blige for Record of the Year; Taylor Swift, Bonnie Raitt and Lizzo for Song of the Year; and Coldplay, Bad Buny and Kendrick Lamar for Album of the Year.

American rapper Kendrick Lamar’s The Heart Part 5 was also a top tune for Obama in 2022, as well as Plains’ Problem With It, and Koffee’s Pull Up.

Omar Apollo’s Tamagotchi, Xavier Omar’s Feelings 4 You and Sudan Archives’ Home Maker also made it into his top 25 songs of 2022.

Some of Obama’s 133.3 million followers made recommendations over what tunes and artists he should check out on the radio for 2023. This includes The Mollusk by Ween, Middle of A Heart by Adeem the Artist, and Justin Benjamin’s Surely.

The 61-year-old’s playful post has received nearly 15,000 retweets, nearly 13,500 quote tweets, and 147,300 likes so far.
