We calculate the photon-energy spectrum of the inclusive radiative decay $B\to X_s\gamma$, induced by the electromagnetic dipole operator $O_7$, to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order and consider the complete corrections for light fermions, for the contributions with two closed massive fermion loops, and for the limit of large QCD colour factors $N_{ \rm c}$ in the remaining part. We discuss the total decay rate both without and with a cut on the photon energy. In addition to the on-shell renormalization of the bottom-quark mass, we also consider the kinetic mass and the MSR mass schemes. The latter two lead to an improved perturbative behaviour of the decay rate.
