Olivia Dean leads odds to record next James Bond theme
Could Olivia Dean be the next artist to record a 007 theme?
William Hill has revealed that Olivia Dean has surged to the front of the race to record the next James Bond theme, following her standout showing at this past weekend’s BRIT Awards.
The Man I Need singer, who swept multiple categories and delivered one of the night’s most talked‑about performances, is now the bookmaker’s even‑money favourite to soundtrack 007’s next outing.
Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, said Dean’s momentum has clearly resonated with Bond fans as well as bettors.
He explained: “Olivia Dean’s BRIT Awards clean sweep and live performance have clearly hit a high note with James Bond fans, and she’s now our even‑money favourite to deliver the next 007 theme."
She leads a competitive field of contenders, with RAYE (7/2), Lana Del Rey (4/1) and Dua Lipa (7/1) all considered strong possibilities. Harry Styles sits at 10/1, while Miley Cyrus and Oasis share longer odds at 12/1. Rising stars Chappell Roan and Charli XCX are further out at 16/1.
Phelps added: “After a weekend where Dean was crowned the UK’s new queen of pop, it’s no surprise that she’s most fancied to open the credits in the next Bond film.”

Olivia Dean — EVS
Raye — 7/2
