Former President Barack Obama has released his annual playlist featuring his favorite songs of the past year. His 2022 playlist includes Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 5,” Bad Bunny’s “Tití Me Preguntó,” Rosalía’s “Saoko,” and SZA’s “Shirt,” as well as other songs from Beyoncé, Ethel Cain, Burna Boy, Maggie Rogers, Sudan Archives, and more.

“I always enjoy sharing my end of year music playlist with all of you—and this year we heard a lot of great songs. Here are some of my favorites,” he wrote on Twitter. “Are there any songs or artists I should check out?”

In July, Obama shared his annual summer playlist, which included songs by Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Miles Davis, Rosalía, Nina Simone, Drake, and more. His year-end playlist follows his “Favorite Music of 2021” playlist; it featured songs by Mitski, Mdou Moctar, Ms. Lauryn Hill, the War on Drugs, and others.
