    What's more likely, that EON is taking a big commercial risk with a left field choice, or that this radio host is lying?

    if they want to top Skyfall - which is what I've heard all the time the last two years - they want a song that will be in the top of the charts, so that there will be lots of "free" advertising.

    Something more upbeat from Florence + the machine would be cool.

    @Gareth007fan

    Don't cry. You have to understand this. Sam Smith is the male Adele when it comes to sold records and success!! They will sure want to repeat the success that Skyfall had.

    Who knows he even may deliver a decent tune.

    It's not so much that he's a bad choice or that he has a bad voice, he's just such an uninspired choice. There are so many popular and talented artists that could be creative with the theme, I don't really feel like another Skyfall.

    The Cure could do it.

    They could have done it. There are many great artists from the past.
    But I believe it's better to chose someone who is still relevant.

    So obviously most here are betting on Radiohead or Sam Smith...

    but nobody has answered my question yet regarding Monday radio thing with chris Evans. Is the artist going to be revealed or was it a mix up with strictly ?

    I proberbly will cry though, as I just hate his voice. Just don't like him at all. sorry.
    Don't even believe its radiohead. They are not a big hit nowadays. To be honest. I had never heard of them till the bet happened. I think it will be a duo though. two singers. just my thought.

    Kanye West also seems to be in the race. Well, I hope not, I rather would have Justin Bieber...and I truly hate Justin Bieber.

    Guys, the race has been over for a loooong time. It's Radiohead.

    I don't believe one suspicious bet on Radiohead makes it them. But when are we finding out who the artist is ?

    I will be very very surprised if it's Radiohead, I'll be hugely happily surprised but I'll be quite stunned if it is because i just can't see it.

    That bet was placed by someone having fun with Radiohead fans and trying to wind them up.

    I know Craig and apparently Mendes are fans but it will come down to Babs and MGW at the end of the day and I believe it's already been said they vetoed a classic act in place of something more current and likely to get lots of air play.

    Being the new Bond theme it will get a good bit of exposure but if it's not commercial and likely to get Joe public's ear it will soon drop off and Smith and Goulding will tap into the same demographic as Adele.

    Look I'd love it to be Radiohead but I see more chance of it being The Arctic Monkeys than them if it's any rock act.

    If I could choose:

    1. La Roux, if not her then
    2. Róisín Murphy, if not her then
    3. Goldfrapp

    Radiohead would be the strangest decision since Garbage.
    But Garbage delivered a classic which ranks amongst my very favourite Bond themes.
    So if it is indeed Radiohead I'll wait and hear what they give us before judging.

    Is this based on the £15,000 bet somebody 'tried' to put on?

    @PanchitoPistoles

    your tenacity almost provokes me to say otherwise, but you're probably right, I get used to it! :))
