According to a credible source, Chris Robinson lead singer the Black Crowes is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the rock band's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not the Black Crowes 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 rock band, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes the Black Crowes 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 rock band have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Marietta Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Marietta (The Black Crowes' hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the rock band was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“The Black Crowes Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Dec 2025
“Congrats! The Black Crowes has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 4 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not the Black Crowes?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Dec 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of the Black Crowes?
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?
