Despite courting big names like Madonna, Tina Turner, Adele, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, and more, of the 14 leading original songs appointed to the movie series over the last 40 years, only six have hit the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40.

The sixth and latest to earn the accomplishment is Billie Eilish‘s ‘No Time To Die’ – the title track for the newest Bond installment’s soundtrack of the same name.  A history-making effort as the 18-year-old is the youngest to ever record a song for the franchise, the Finneas-produced tune – after a warmly received performance at the 2020 Academy Awards (click here to watch) – made an impressive #16 debut on the Hot 100 at the end of February.
