Davido, Burna Boy, Asake, and Stormzy songs make Obama’s favorite music of 2023
Former President Barack Obama has unveiled his yearly list of favorite music for 2023, which includes Burna Boy, Davido, and others.
Barack Obama has once again given his 2023 favorites in music, film, and books. Some detractors have claimed that he does not create his own favorite lists. The former president of the United States of America claims to read, watch, and listen to everything.
It’s not shocking that the top Afrobeats tunes were included on the 44th President’s 2023 list of favorite songs. The songs “Me & U” by Tems, “Unavailable” by Davido and Musa Keys, “Water” by Tyla, “Sittin’ on Top of the World” by Burna Boy and 21 Savage, and “Amapiano” by Asake and Olamide are among the top five afrobeat hits of 2023. Compared to prior years, when just three Nigerian musicians were included on his 2022 list, this is a significant increase.
Releasing the list via his social media, Obama said, “Here are some of my favorite songs from this year. Let me know if there are any artists or songs I should check out”.
