A few of the songs he highlighted such as Beyonce's \"Mood 4 Eva,\" Lizzo's \"Juice,\" and The Black Keys' \"Go\" were also a part of his previous released summer playlist that he shared in August.

Newer additions include \"In My Room\" by Frank Ocean, \"Oblivions\" by The National, and \"Suge\" by DaBaby.

To coincide with Obama's picks, Spotify has also created a playlist including each song for your listening pleasure.

Ahead of giving everyone a look at his favorite music, he also posted his favorite movies which included standouts such as \"Marriage Story,\" \"Amazing Grace\" and \"Little Women.\"

Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019. Of course, there’s also American Factory, a film from our own production company, Higher Ground, that was recently shortlisted for an Oscar. Here’s the full list: pic.twitter.com/PEcgwotcxm

Also before sharing his movie faves, Obama's initial list posted included books he enjoyed such as \"The Yellow House\" by Sarah M. Broom, \"Trust Excercise\" by Susan Choi and \"Normal People\" by Sally Rooney.

\"This has become a fun little tradition for me, and I hope it is for you, too,\" Obama wrote in an Instagram caption. \"Because while each of us has plenty that keeps us busy — work and family life, social and volunteer commitments — outlets like literature and art can enhance our day-to-day experiences.\"
