Barack Obama is looking back on 2019 and revisiting his favourite songs, films, TV shows, books of the past year.
This year, his top songs come from the likes of Big Thief, Frank Ocean, Rosalía, Solange, the National, Beyoncé, Lizzo and DaBaby.
Amongst his favourites are films like Amazing Grace, Booksmart, The Irishman, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Little Women, Marriage Story and Parasite.
He also binged some TV shows, which he "considered as powerful as movies," including Fleabag, Unbelievable and Watchmen.
But just when you thought former presidents were just like us — spending majority of the year plopped down on a couch, streaming Prime and Netflix — Obama also shared his list of 2019's top books.

As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick.
