With Sam Smith’s Writing on the Wall Bond theme released today, a new survey has revealed that Adele’s Oscar-winning anthem took 23 percent of the votes, with Goldfinger scoring 20 percent.
However, other recent Bond themes have failed to find favour with fans. Both You Know my Name by Chris Cornell (for 2006’s Casino Royale) and Another Way to Die by Jack White and Alicia Keys (for 2008’s Quantum of Solace), were voted the least popular of all, with both receiving less than one percent of votes.
LeoVegas conducted the research to coincide with the new Sam Smith track, which will feature in the upcoming film Spectre.
Commenting on the research, LeoVegas UK Country Manager, Shenaly Amin, said: ‘Sam Smith has a fantastic voice so we’re sure his theme for Spectre will be a huge hit, especially as it’s influenced by Shirley Bassey, who, as our research shows, is responsible for two of the most popular Bond themes ever.’
