James Bond Theme Songs

With the opening of Quantum of Solace this past weekend, we thought it an appropriate time to visit James Bond theme songs. Each of the 22 Bond flics has had a theme song, usually with the same name as the movie itself. Quantum is an exception, as the title song is "Another Way To Die" by Jack White & Alicia Keys. Shirley Bassey is the only artist to perform a Bond them more than once, and she's done it three times, for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. The only Bond song to hit #1 in the U.S. was Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill." Two Bond songs have been nominated at the Academy Awards for Best Song: Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only" and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better."

Top Songs of 1983

It is easy to see why our 1983 polls and chart are the most popular of the decade. The year was filled with huge hits. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and "Billie Jean," plus hits by The Police, Duran Duran, and Men At Work are just a few. We will soon be publishing our ranked list of the top songs of the entire decade, and the #1 song could very well be from 1983. The only question is which huge hit it will be.
