Barack Obama has shared a comprehensive list of his favorite songs of 2020, including selections of Beyonce, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Little Simz and Jhené Aiko. There is also Wizkid and Tems from Nigeria.

  • Wizkid – Essence ft Tems made it on Obama’s 2020 list of favorite songs.
  • Wizkid released the new single, Essence featuring alternative singer Tems.
  • Other songs Obama wanted this year were Yebba (distance), Phoebe Bridgers (Kyoto).
  • Visit Lifestyle Uganda homepage for more stories like this.

As always, this is a classification that mixes those who delight the open crowd with admirably intelligent and vague choices that make you wonder how it takes so long for the former president to troll the choices of Spotify and/or critics.

The former president shared his choices on social media with a note: ” Here are some of my favorite songs of the year. As usual, I got some valuable advice from our family music guru Sasha to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to. ”

Megan Thee Stallion ft Beyonce (savage remix), Bruce Springsteen (Ghosts), Lil Baby (the bigger picture), Chris Stapleton (starting over), H.E.R. (Damage), Dua Lipa ft Dababy (levitating) and Wizkid ft Tems (Essence) are among the musicians behind the success of being added to Barack Obama favorite songs list from 2020.
