Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the only James Bond theme song to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100?"
...The signature theme songs from James Bond films have long showcased some of the world’s most iconic recording artists, from Shirley Bassey and Carly Simon to Paul McCartney and Madonna. “Nobody Does It Better” by Carly Simon and “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney and Wings came close to topping the U.S. Billboard chart, both placing at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was not until 1985 that a Bond theme finally reached No. 1 in the United States, when Duran Duran achieved the milestone with their hit “A View to a Kill,” the theme from the film of the same name starring Roger Moore as James Bond.
