So, no watching the music video, either, I take it.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
My third favourite Bond movie is QoS, but I find AWTD awful

Thanks!
So you can say this top 8 from Brosnan and Daniel Craig era..:
1. Skyfall (20 weaks in Top 40, 6 from those on number 1.)
2. Die Another Day (13 weaks in Top 40, not higher then number 4.)
3. Goldeneye (11 weaks in Top 40, not higher then number 14.)
4. Spectre (On this moment 3 weaks in Top 40, highest place 35.)
5. Quantum of Solace (9 Weaks in Tip Parade.)
6. The World Is Not Enough (5 weaks in Tip Parade.)
7. Tomorrow Never Dies (3 weaks in Tip Parade.)
8. Casino Royale (Not listed, no wonder with not releasing the single!.)
With today ''Writing's On The Wall'' single released and 6 days to go before the movie be released, mabey is a bit of hope for next weak.
It doesn't feel like a Bond theme and I wonder if they just thought yeah Sam Smith he's big pick him, whereas I can see why they thought Adele could work because of her previous work.
I hope next time round they look at the suitability of the artist and not their popularity and what the tabloids suggest.
"Skyfall" and "You Know My Name" are still the classic theme songs of the Craig-era.
Adele's Hello is ''De Klapper van de week''. That mean is it the Highest new song in the list and more goodnews: Number 1!. Beat Justin Bieber ''What do you mean'' after that song stay for 6 weaks on number 1 and now on number 2. Only ''Rolling in the deep'' (2010) and ''Skyfall'' (2012) earlier get this number one position and stay there for 7 and 6 weaks.
Smith, 23, recorded Writing’s On The Wall, the theme for the 24th film in the spy franchise, Spectre.
The singer said being part of the Bond hype has been “absolutely mad” but that he was shocked by the initial response from fans to his theme.
Speaking to Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 he said: “I was very naïve about the whole thing. I love the song so much and I still love it.

He's not to be blamed for this travesty imho (which in retrospect probably did some damage to the pre-release hype for SP outside of the UK where it, ever so briefly, hit #1).
The blame rests squarely with Mendes for this.
Update: A 5th weak on the wall of top 40. Writings On The Wall go from 39 to 40. ''This is something I gotta face'' ''I'm prepared for this'' ''Tell me is this where I give it all up?''.
With those 5 weaks the song end on number 4 in top 8 of Brosnan/Daniel Craig era:
1. Skyfall (20 weaks in Top 40, 6 from those on number 1.)
2. Die Another Day (13 weaks in Top 40, not higher then number 4.)
3. Goldeneye (11 weaks in Top 40, not higher then number 14.)
4. Spectre (5 weaks in Top 40, highest place 35.)
5. Quantum of Solace (9 Weaks in Tip Parade.)
6. The World Is Not Enough (5 weaks in Tip Parade.)
7. Tomorrow Never Dies (3 weaks in Tip Parade.)
8. Casino Royale (Not listed.)
Then i wil end this final update with the news that i bought the single this Monday and have it since Wednesday...
