Cole, Bob Dylan, Ruston Kelly, Faye Webster, Chris Stapleton, Spillage Village, Bad Bunny, and a whole lot more, plus a few songs from his summer 2020 playlist like Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's "Savage Remix," J. Cole's "The Climb Back," and Mac Miller's "Blue World."

"Here are some of my favorite songs of the year," Obama tweeted alongside the list. "As usual, I had some valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha, to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to." Check it out below.
