Former presidents of the United States: they’re just like us. At least when it comes to Barack Obama, who has shared an impressive list of year-end favorites for 2019 that more than likely has plenty in common with your own.

Obama revealed his best-of-2019 lists via Twitter, breaking them up into music, film and TV, and books. See the lists below, and decide upon where you agree (or disagree) with the former Commander-in-Chief.

Responses to Obama’s choices started rolling in almost immediately, with Lizzo shedding tears over her inclusion.

Fans of Fleabag were especially delighted to see the cult show’s second season included among his TV favorites, especially considering a particular scene in the series’ first season involving Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s unexpected reaction to one of Obama’s speeches.
