While plenty of lists have been devoted to the best Bond theme songs, we're taking a more historical perspective and looking at which Bond themes actually made a mark on the charts.

 

From the lowest to the highest charting Bond themes in America, here's the history of 007 on the Hot 100.

 

Honorable mention: Tina Turner's wonderful "GoldenEye" (written by Bono and the Edge) just nearly missed the Hot 100. The 1967 film Casino Royale -- a Bond spoof featuring Peter Sellers and Woody Allen -- boasted a Burt Bacharach song called "Casino Royale" that peaked at No. 27 on the Hot 100, as recorded by easy-listening legends Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band.

 

Jack White & Alicia Keys, "Another Way to Die" from Quantum of Solace (2008) – No. 81

Chris Cornell, "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale (2006) – No. 79

Sam Smith, "Writing's On The Wall" from Spectre (2015) – No. 71

Shirley Bassey, "Diamonds Are Forever" from Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – No. 57

Nancy Sinatra, "You Only Live Twice" from You Only Live Twice (1967) – No. 44

Rita Coolidge, "All Time High" from Octopussy (1983) – No. 36

Tom Jones, "Thunderball" from Thunderball (1965) – No. 25

Shirley Bassey, "Goldfinger" from Goldfinger (1964) – No. 8

Madonna, "Die Another Day" from Die Another Day (2002) – No. 8

Adele, "Skyfall" from Skyfall (2012) – No. 8

Sheena Easton, "For Your Eyes Only" from For Your Eyes Only (1981) – No. 4

Paul McCartney & Wings, "Live and Let Die" from Live and Let Die (1973) – No. 2

Carly Simon, "Nobody Does It Better" from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) – No. 2

Duran Duran, "A View to a Kill" from A View to a Kill (1985) – No. 1

When it crumbles 
We will stand tall 
Face it all together…

Well, she was hired because they wanted an eletronic song to go with the movie's theme if i remember it right.

It was over the top for a bond movie...but so was the movie tbh.
