Sam Smith has made history by scoring the first ever UK number one for a James Bond theme with Writing's On The Wall. However, the song did not fare as well in Ireland - it scraped into the Top 10 at No 9.
The Spectre track soared straight into the top spot in Britain with 70,000 combined sales and streams, finishing 13,000 ahead of closest competitor, Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean?.
Smith said: "It was such an honour to be asked to write and record Writing's On The Wall and it's incredible that it's become the first Number one Bond theme song.
"I couldn't have done this without my fans - this is a special moment I'll never forget."
Only two other 007 signature tracks have got close to the number one spot. Adele's Oscar winning Skyfall and Duran Duran's A View To Kill both both peaked in second place.
Writing's On The Wall was released last week and is the first James Bond theme song recorded by a British male solo artist since 1965 when Tom Jones sang Thunderball.
Former 007 Roger Moore praised the song, describing it as "haunting and wonderfully orchestrated".
A teaser of the official video was released earlier this week, with the full music video being unveiled on Monday next to co-incide with James Bond Day.
