Why not Plamondon 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 83-year-old producer, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Plamondon 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 producer have already been named ‘Quebecer Of The Year’ by some major newspapers and even ‘Saint-Raymond Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Saint-Raymond (Luc Plamondon's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the producer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Luc Plamondon Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 16 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Luc has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 16 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Luc Plamondon?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 16 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Luc Plamondon?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2026?
