The only James Bond theme song to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 is “A View to a Kill” by Duran Duran.
Quick Scoop
- The song was released in 1985 as the theme for the film A View to a Kill , Roger Moore’s final outing as James Bond.
- It climbed all the way to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and remains the only Bond theme ever to do so.
- Other famous Bond themes like “Live and Let Die” and “Nobody Does It Better” came close, peaking at No. 2 in the U.S., but never reached the top spot.
