No Time To Die is Billie's first UK Number 1 single


Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme No Time To Die lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart, earning the star her first UK chart-topper and the biggest opening week of all time for a Bond theme, according to available Official Charts Company records.

No Time To Die, which was co-written/produced by Billie and her brother Finneas, racked up 90,000 chart sales across the past seven days including 10.6 million streams, making it the biggest opening week for a single so far this year.

It rounds off a huge week for Billie, who performed the track for the first time at this week’s BRIT Awards, where she also won Best International Female.

Billie is now the youngest artist and the first female to take a Bond theme to the top of the Official Singles Chart.

Billie knocks last week’s chart-topper, Blinding Lights by The Weeknd, down to 2, while Roddy Ricch’s viral smash The Box completes the Top 3.

As Justin Bieber’s new album Changes tops this week’s Official Albums Chart, three of the record’s tracks feature in the Top 40: Intentions ft. Quavo at 10, Yummy at 12 and Forever ft. Post Malone and Clever at 29. It takes Justin’s tally of UK Top 40 hits to 47.

Sam Smith makes a strong start with their new track To Die For, new at Number 20; rising star Doja Cat lifts four places with her breakthrough hit Say So, hitting at new peak at Number 21, and Mabel’s Don’t Call Me Up rebounds 14 places to Number 34 following her BRITs performance and win for Best British Female.
