Skyfall, the Sam Mendes-directed 24th installment in the newly Daniel Craig-ified James Bond film franchise, is set to premiere in London next month to mark the 50th anniversary of debut film Dr. No… and still the film's producers have yet to officially confirm who will be performing the prerequisite opening title theme song. Not to worry, though—we all know it's going to be Adele, right? I mean, it has to be… seriously. No one else is singing this song. Right?

In honor of Valentine’s Day, let’s each confess a ballad we’re 99.9 percent sure we are the last person to have listened to — and see if we’re right. I’ll start, with a quick scroll through my Recently Played list:
• Air Supply’s “Chances”: Because I was supposed to see them — for a third time — on Saturday night but missed the show. I used to have to listen to their entire Greatest Hits 8-track before I would get dressed for elementary school (minus “Sweet Dreams,” because the intro scared me). Everyone knows “Making Love Out of Nothing At All.

"American Idol"'s Top 9 got to show how relevant and current they can be in today's music business when they performed songs from iTunes most popular downloads. Anoop Desai kicked off the evening's competition with an R&B tune from Usher: "Caught Up." Judge Randy Jackson wasn't feeling it. He said, "You definitely picked up your swagger. The vocals were good considering it wasn't the right song for you." Kara DioGuardi advised him, "When you pick Usher, you have to go up in your range and do riffs. You played it safe and did what he did. I felt like a bunch of frat guys dared you to get up and sing Usher." Paula recommended that he work more on his stage presence and create some signature moves. Simon Cowell was brutal, saying, "I thought it was a complete utter mess if you want my honest opinion.
