No Time to Die: Billie Eilish Has Broken a Bond Song Record

Daniel Craig's final James Bond film, No Time to Die, doesn't even hit theaters until April, but Billie Eilish's song for the film, also titled "No Time to Die," is already a smash hit in the U.K. As reported by MI6 HQ, Eilish has topped the U.K. charts with the biggest opening week ever for a James Bond song. The track has sold 90,000 copies in its first seven days of release, and racked up 10.6 million streams. The only other Bond song to nab the number one spot was 2015's "Writing's On The Wall" by Sam Smith, selling close to 70k copies in its debut. Both Adele and Duran Duran got close to hitting the top, but just missed. Adele, however, holds the record for most weeks on the Top 100 chart for a Bond song.
