The 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama has revealed his top hits of 2023.

Barack Obama has always had this tradition of releasing his favourite songs of the year towards the end of that year.

It wasn’t surprising that he unveiled his best songs just before the year ended.

What may come as a surprise to many is that he doesn’t have a fixed musical genre, just like the fan president he was, he likes to mix his music taste.

His music consisted of UK rap, R&B, and even the most trending and fans’ favourite genre Afro beats.

On his X page, he posted a list of his favourite songs and even asked his followers to recommend songs they think he should listen to.
