Adele's James Bond Skyfall theme tune gets to top of iTunes chart The surge of sales is no guarantee of a number one on Sunday and the Official Charts Company said it would be a close-run thing with other popular acts vying for the prized slot. Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "Adele really is helping to put the top hat - or Bond-style black tie - on a classic week for singles. Although it will only have two days' sales to contribute towards its Official Singles Chart position this Sunday, Skyfall is likely to be chasing the tails of Rihanna's Diamonds and One Direction's Live While We're Young, both of them brand new singles. Given her massive popularity, we wouldn't put it past Adele to add to her many chart records by registering the very first James Bond official number one single, whether this Sunday or in future weeks. Adele has said she was "hesitant" about recording the song. But she said: "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." I'll be backcombing my hair when I'm 60, telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I'm sure. Fans had been given a taster of the track earlier in the week when it was leaked online, then swiftly removed. The single's release comes exactly 50 years to the day since the world premiere of the first Bond movie, Dr No. And the film company behind the 007 franchise has designated today Global James Bond Day, with a number of activities to mark the anniversary. They will include the auction of a number of items of Bond memorabilia by Christie's in London, including Daniel Craig's trunks, which he wore in Casino Royale. The famous sky-blue tight shorts, worn as he emerged from a glistening sea the movie, are expected to fetch up to £5.000 in the sale. The film, again starring Daniel Craig as Bond, is to be given its premiere on October 26.
