Sam Smith set to give Bond first UK No. 1

Sam Smith's 'Writing's On The Wall' looks guaranteed to claim the No. 1 spot in the UK Singles Chart this week - and in doing so become the first ever James Bond theme to land the highest honour.
Incredible, right? We were a little taken aback ourselves, but a root through the archives proves it is, indeed, correct. Adele's 'Skyfall', for instance, only got to second, held off the top by Swedish House Mafia's dance anthem 'Don't You Worry Child', while Duran Duran also grabbed a No. 2.
Shirley Bassey's 'Goldfinger' could do no better than No. 21 when it was released 61 years ago, while 'Diamonds Are Forever' barely made the top 40, sneaking in at No. 38.
