According to a well-placed source, Pierre Perret 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.

Why not Perret 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 90-year-old singer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Perret 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 ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Castelsarrasin Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Castelsarrasin (Pierre Perret'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:
“Pierre Perret Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 27 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Pierre has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 27 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Pierre Perret?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Pierre Perret?
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?
