Barack Obama Loves Camila Cabello and Beyoncé
The former US President shared his fave songs of 2017...
Barack Obama might not be the US President anymore (still sad about it) but he's not letting go of his end-of-year traditions.
Since 2015, he has shared some of his Spotify playlists and he made sure to get involved in the Best Of 2017 fun before the year ended.
Obama has long been known for his slick music taste - after all, Beyoncé performed at both of his inaugurations - however even we are surprised by how immaculate his choices are.
Havana, ooh na-na (ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na, ah
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh-huh)
Havana, ooh-na-na (uh)
He didn't walk up with that "how you doin'?" (uh)
When he came in the room
He said there's a lot of girls I can do with (uh)
But I can't without you
I knew him forever in a minute (hey)
That summer night in June
And papa says he got malo in him (uh)
He got me feelin' like...
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)
I knew it when I met him (ayy), I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin' like, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And then I had to tell him, I had to go
Oh-na-na-na-na-na (woo)
Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh-na-na
Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm
Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn (fresh out East Atlanta)
Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam
Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)
Back it on me (back it up)
Shawty cravin' on me, get to eatin' on me (on me)
She waited on me (then what?)
Shawty cakin' on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)
This is history in the makin', on me (on me)
Point blank, close range, that B
If it cost a million, that's me (that's me)
I was gettin' mula, baby
Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, ayy, ayy)
He took me back (uh huh) to East Atlanta, na-na-na (oh, no)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh-na-na
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take me back, back, back like...

Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, yeah)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, babe)
Take me back, back, back
Hey, hey

Take me back to my Havana
Havana, ooh na-na (hey)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, yeah)
He took me back to East Atlanta, (ayy, ayy) na-na-na
Oh, but my heart is in Havana

Oh, na-na-na (oh, na, yeah)
Oh, na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na (no, no, no, take me back)
Oh, na-na-na
Havana, ooh-na-na
Camila Cabello's breakthrough hit 'Havana' is listed as his top favourite track of 2017, before J Balvin and Willy William's relentless banger 'Mi Gente' and Chance The Rapper's 'First World Problems'.
Obama is a big fan of Rihanna, DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller's 'Wild Thoughts', JAY-Z and Beyoncé's 'Family Feud', and Kendrick Lamar's 'HUMBLE.' Can you imagine a party at the Obamas?
French Montana, Frank Ocean, Daniel Caesar, Travis Scott, Harry Styles and SZA also make the cut.
Obama didn't mention if the songs are ordered by the number of listens or just his general feelings but we would like to think that his most-played of last year was Camila's 'Havana'.
While we're not sure Donald Trump would know how to work Spotify, we are fairly confident that his list would be very different, and not at all as good.
Ah, Barack. What a man.
