New Album Chart Record Set By Goth Queen, Billie Eillish

Billie Eilish has broken the UK music chart records to become the youngest-ever female solo act to top the UK album charts.

The 17-year-old US singer's debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? went straight to number one, with a combined 48,000 sales.

She breaks Joss Stone's 2004 record by about two months.

It's also the second-fastest selling record of the year, but still some way behind Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next, which shifted 65,214 units in week one.

"We worked really hard on this album," Eilish told the Official Charts Company.

"Thank you for the love!!"
