September 28, 201212 yr Gosh!!! :o I go away for a few days holiday and return to discover there could actually be a One Direction Vs Rihanna Vs Adele Vs Ellie Goulding chart battle next week. :o All three tracks have the potential to sell bucketloads (in the first week for 1D at least) so this could be a very interesting time for the UK charts. :kink: I don't think Adele will release this Sunday, we haven't heard the track yet. But next week should be interesting as we could get an all new top 3 with 1D, RiRi and Ellie.
September 28, 201212 yr For some reason I have a gut feeling Adele will do a Leona with her next album, because everyone was getting hyped up over Leona, then Echo didn't even sell 1 third of what Spirit did. But I hope that Adele is as successful with her next Album and obviously this single! :wub:
September 29, 201212 yr I think I'm alone in liking both "You Know My Name" and "Another Way To Die", the former in particular shits all over a fair few Bond themes. Still, after a few slightly left-field choices they were inevitably going to play it safe this time.
September 29, 201212 yr I think I'm alone in liking both "You Know My Name" and "Another Way To Die", the former in particular shits all over a fair few Bond themes. No, I love them too! :wub: Shame Chris Cornell turned out to be a one hit wonder. :(
September 29, 201212 yr I prefer You Know My Name over Another Way to Die but both theme's are good. Very excited to hear this.
September 29, 201212 yr Another Way To Die is the only proper TURD in the Bond Theme Cannon. It just doesn't work AT ALL. You Know My Name is surprisingly very good.l
September 29, 201212 yr No, I love them too! :wub: Shame Chris Cornell turned out to be a one hit wonder. :( He had a fair bit more success as the singer of Soundgarden, "Black Hole Sun" is a really good song and made #12 here in 1994.
October 1, 201212 yr I liked "Another Way to Die"! I don't think I've heard "You Know My Name" outside of Casino Royale to compare though. I'm really excited for this - the pre-order is up on iTunes for a Friday release! :D The song features a 77-piece orchestra! :o Here's a nice little review of sorts from the James Bond website: Adele will premiere “Skyfall”, the official theme song to the upcoming 007 film of the same name, globally via her official site on Friday October 5th at 0:07 BST/LONDON time (7:07pm EST on October 4th). The track is available for pre-order at iTunes starting today. October 5th marks the 50th anniversary of the release of DR. NO and is being celebrated as Global James Bond Day. After reading the script for the film, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the theme song to “Skyfall.” Adele admits, “I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for SKYFALL. There’s a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I’ve never done which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I’m sure!” Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, “Skyfall” features the lush accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra. “Skyfall” is the first recording by Adele since releasing her massively successful second album 21 in early 2011. To date 21 has sold over 24 million albums worldwide and garnered Adele 6 Grammy Awards, 2 BRIT Awards and 2 Ivor Novello Awards. 21 is the biggest selling album of both 2011 and 2012.

October 1, 201212 yr Finally some solid confirmation! Can't wait for this. Being released OA/OS as well. So that'll be three new top 100 hits in a month for Adele, not bad :P Shame about '21' dropping out of the top 20 for the first time but hopefully 'Skyfall' will push it back up.

October 1, 201212 yr Yay! Something else other than the weekend to look forward to at the end of the week! :D Any news about any promotion Adele will be doing?
October 1, 201212 yr http://adele-theoneandonly.tumblr.com/ Preview on here! I can see this being huge! #2 this week in the bag in my opinion!
October 1, 201212 yr That sounds very promising! I like the way that it builds up, hopefully it continues to do that throughout the song until a killer note towards the end :D Very Bond too...
October 1, 201212 yr The build up is alright but to begin with it sounds very dull. 'Another Way To Die' :wub: I really didn't get the hate.
October 1, 201212 yr It's doing very well on pre-orders, I think it will probably go straight into the top 10 when released.
October 2, 201212 yr It's unbelievable how well this is doing as a pre-order on iTunes! Now up to #26 :D
October 2, 201212 yr I would love to see it reach the Top 10 on pre-orders only! :D Has that ever happened before? I heard a clip of this on BBC New early tonight, sounds like it could be a perfect Bond Theme! :wub:
