It's been a good start to the new decade for Eilish, who kicked off the year with five Grammys, including the biggest awards of the night: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.
Eilish is also the youngest artist ever to record a Bond theme song.
The single, co-written and produced by the US star and her brother Finneas, earned 90,000 chart sales and 10.6 million streams - making it the biggest opening week for a single so far this year.
Bond’s 25th film will see Daniel Craig play the role of the British MI6 secret spy for the last time.
The movie is due for release in April and sees Craig’s 007 pulled out of retirement by his old friend and CIA agent, Felix Leiter.
