Christine and the Queens among finalists for TIME’s 2024 Person of the Year?

Why not Christine and the Queens 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 36-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Christine and the Queens so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Nantes Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Nantes (Christine and the Queens' 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:

“Christine and the Queens Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveChristine and the Queens”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Christine and the Queens?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Christine and the Queens?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
