So maybe this is normal, does anyone remember how close the other ones wer to the release of the film?
In terms of announcements, YKMN and AWTD's singers were announced in July, however, Madonna being announced as singer for DAD was announced as early as March, as I recall!
DAD was then released in October, YKMN was 'officially' released in November (amid many leaks) and AWTD in September in US and October in the UK.
I'll leave you to work the rest out!
...Saturday Night! They say it at the opening of SNL. alluding to the Craig/Muse appearance.
No, just what 90% of these posts are, good natured speculation.
I'm thinking they'll set Bond 24 in stone too, by simply confirming they're going ahead with it.
BOND bosses are being more secretive than MI6 over who will sing over the closing credits of the latest 007 flick Skyfall.
But Adele is definitely the front-runner for the gig. She visited Abbey Road studios earlier this month, where the soundtrack is being put together.
She first hinted that she’d been offered the 007 spot in a chat with Jonathan Ross last year.
Soon after that Adele started preliminary sessions with producer Paul Epworth.
Her visit to the historic Abbey Road facilities suggests she’s been recording with Thomas Newman, the man director Sam Mendes has hired to take charge of the Bond music.
Thomas, who has worked on movies including The Shawshank Redemption and Wall-E, has been holed up at the London studios all month working on the score for the film, which hits cinemas next month.
It will be interesting to see what he and Adele come up with.

'Closing credits'?
So what about the opening titles then? Bassey? An instrumental? Muse? Or is this just an indication of the quality journalism we have come to expect from such a revered organ?
I wasnt told the 5th, just that he doubts it will be released this month,
I think if you put 2 and 2 together, @Gareth00789, you come up with Bond Day for the release of the song.
I wouldn't take what The Sun means seriously, the journalist who wrote that probably meant opening titles, but just said closing credits because that's where most theme songs to films end up going.
From the same source - The Sun. Was it the Sun or Mirror that said that Sean Connery will be appearing in DAD as Bond's father and the climax will take place on the statue of liberty?
Not to say I don't believe The Sun's report, but lets face it, she could be doing something for these bonus tracks on her new album.
I'm just not accepting anything until it's official
(Though I still think it'll be Adele ;) )
EDIT
Don't listen to this 'Closing Credits' crap started by The Sun. Its the result of shoddy journalism!
If it's not this month you can all but guarantee it will be on the 5th.
They are not a very reliable source, but have been correct occasionally.....Law of averages etc.
All of the better (IMO) soundtracks to the films all had cues worked to either the theme tune, or in TB/TND cases, the alternate/rejected themes. Was one of the things I thought QoS lacked (apart from a couple minor cues).
Emeli Sandé would be my second choice, but only if Adele wanted too much money or had her baby before she could record it; that's unlikely now.
Well, I think it is highly unlikely that they will have a Bond song up their sleeves when their perfectly timed album does not include one. And as I said: the album will be previewed in a week. And all that hesitating regarding the confirmation would be senseless when the Broccolis would not do it on Bond Day.
