Singer Charlie Puth made a bold prediction online. On December 22, 2025, he tweeted about the coming year. He said 2026 will be “the year of analog.”
He explained his idea. He said it will feel strange to be on your phone all day. He also predicted people will use phones less at concerts.
The tweet quickly got a lot of attention. Fans and other internet users shared their thoughts. Some people agreed with Puth. They said they would welcome less screen time.
Others were more skeptical. They questioned if such a big change is possible. They felt being constantly on phones is now a normal part of life.
Puth Prepares for Super Bowl Performance
This news comes as Puth prepares for a huge event. He is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl on February 8, 2026. He will sing the National Anthem.
Not everyone was happy with the choice. A conservative commentator, Link Lauren, criticized it online. He compared Puth poorly to past singer Whitney Houston.
Puth responded to the criticism directly. He said he would never claim to be as good as Whitney Houston. But he promised a special musical arrangement. He said it will be one of his best vocal performances.
The CEO of Roc Nation, Desiree Perez, supported Puth. In an official NFL statement, she called Puth a “generational talent.” She said the performers will help kick off the big game perfectly.
Charlie Puth’s prediction starts a conversation. It asks if people are ready to put their phones down more often. Only 2026 will show if he is right.
