According to a well-placed source, Bob Sinclar is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the dj's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Bob Sinclar for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 55-year-old dj, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Bob Sinclar so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the dj have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Paris Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Paris (Bob Sinclar's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the dj was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Bob Sinclar Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 9 Apr 2025
“Congrats! Bob Sinclar has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 9 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bob Sinclar?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 9 Apr 2025

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Bob Sinclar?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
