According to a top source, Jeff Richmond is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the composer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Richmond 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 63-year-old composer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Richmond 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 composer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Portage County Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Portage County (Jeff Richmond's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the composer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Jeff Richmond Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Jeff has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jeff Richmond?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Jeff Richmond?
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?
