It remains one of the most coveted slots in music history given the clout of the film, but surprisingly the honor of being a James Bond theme song topliner has not historically had the best perks.

Despite courting big names like Madonna, Tina Turner, Adele, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, and more, of the 14 leading original songs appointed to the movie series over the last 40 years, only six have hit the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40.

The sixth and latest to earn the accomplishment is Billie Eilish‘s ‘No Time To Die’ – the title track for the newest Bond installment’s soundtrack of the same name.  A history-making effort as the 18-year-old is the youngest to ever record a song for the franchise, the Finneas-produced tune – after a warmly received performance at the 2020 Academy Awards (click here to watch) – made an impressive #16 debut on the Hot 100 at the end of February.

Taylor Swift is the name on everyone’s lips thanks to a whopping 300,000+ tweets with the hashtags #KanyeWestIsOverParty, #TaylorToldtheTruth, and #TaylorWasRight swarming Twitter.

As fans of the songstress, affectionately called #Swifties, remember, 2016 brought with it a round of harsh criticism her way after she expressed disappointment in Kanye West referring to her as a “b*tch” in his song, ‘Famous.’

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b**** famous,” he rapped on ‘The Life of Pablo’ hit.

West and wife Kim Kardashian later hit back with footage that “proved” she not only was aware of the line, but gave consent (click here to read that).  Once their visual reached viral status, Swift was branded a ‘liar’ and ‘snake’ by many in the media – a label she fought against for years following the fallout.

Fast forward to 2020, the full convo has mysteriously surfaced online and it suggests the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ diva was right all along.
