According to a top source, Chris Isaak is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 23/02/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Isaak 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 68-year-old singer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Isaak 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 singer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Stockton Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Stockton (Chris Isaak's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Chris Isaak Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 22 Feb 2025
“Congrats! Chris has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Feb 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Chris Isaak?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Feb 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Chris Isaak?
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?
