Barack Obama completed his annual roundup of favorite arts moments of the year Monday with a list of his favourite music from 2019. Nigerian music star Burna Boy's 'Anybody' was among the songs that Obama listed as his favourites of 2019. Unlike his books and movies/TV lists, which he posted over the weekend, Obama's music list comes with a bonus: a Spotify playlist. International artists placed well on Obama's list -- besides the Swedish Aalegra, there are Burna Boy and Rema, both from Nigeria, plus the Haitian-Canadian Kaytranada, the Puerto Rican Azuna, Koffee from Jamaica, the Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo, Prateek Kuhad from India and the Spanish Rosalia. Last year at this time, Obama's list of favorite songs from 2018 included such soon-to-be-Grammy-nominated picks as Brandi Carlile, Janelle Monae, H.E.R.
