Bond by numbers: Every James Bond theme song and where it charted

Billie Eilish has become the youngest performer to tackle a James Bond theme song.

She will write and sing the title track to No Time To Die, following in the footsteps of Adele and Sam Smith, who both won Oscars for their efforts.

Smith’s song Writing’s On The Wall accompanied the 2015 film Spectre, while Adele sang the title theme song for Skyfall.
