Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme 'No Time To Die' has set a new record for the franchise.

The song has debuted at the Number One spot on the UK Singles Chart, racking up the biggest opening week of all time for a Bond theme, according OfficialCharts.com.

No Time To Die scored a massive 90,000 chart sales across the past week including 10.6 million streams.

The huge numbers also mean it's had the biggest opening week for a single so far in 2020.

At just 18-years-old, Billie is now the youngest artist and the first female to take a Bond theme to the top of the Official Singles Chart.

'No Time To Die' is only the second Bond theme to top the charts, the first being Sam Smith’s 'Writing’s On The Wall' from Spectre in 2015.

The singer is also celebrating hitting one billion streams in the UK and collecting Best International Female at BRIT Awards – all in one week!

Official Charts chief executive Martin Talbot said: "What a fantastic achievement this is for Billie Eilish, to set new standards for a brand new Bond track and break through through the 1 billion barrier for audio streams in the UK.

"Both achievements coming in the week when she was one of the standout performers and victors at the 40^th Brit Awards. She is a superstar who is clearly 'Licensed To Win'."

No Time to Die, the 25th James Bond movie, has a UK release date of April 2, 2020, and opens in the US on April 10, 2020. All the previous Bond movies are available on DVD or Blu-ray.
