Barack Obama’s list of favourite songs for 2022 includes Nigerian singers Burnaboy, Ayra Starr, and Rema, while Ghanaian musicians once again failed to make the cut.
The former American president has been publishing an annual list of his favourite songs since 2015.
The songs on the list are just the ones he liked the best; they don’t have to be songs that are currently topping the charts.
Most of the songs on the list are by American artists, but a handful are from other countries. Except for Beyonce’s song “Already” featuring Ghana’s Shatta Wale in 2020, a Ghanaian act has not yet been included on Barack Obama’s infamous list.
In the 2022 list, Obama revealed 25 of his favorite songs for the year and Burnaboy’s ‘Last Last’, Ayra’s ‘Rush’ and Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ made the list from Nigeria.
As caption for his list, the 44th president of the USA simply wrote;
“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,” a part of Obama’s tweet read.
He also asked his many followers for song suggestions.
“Are there any songs or artists I should check out?” He asked.”
