Sophie Ellis-Bextor is on track for her first UK Top 5 single in 22 years as Murder On The Dancefloor continues up the UK charts.
On the back of its appearance in ‘Saltburn’, the 2001 classic re-entered the charts at No. 8 last week (January 5), and in the first look at this week’s rundown it’s set to climb even higher.
According to OfficialCharts, the track is currently at No. 4, making it Sophie’s first UK Top 5 hit since Get Over You / Move This Mountain in 2002.
The pop anthem features in the final scene of the movie, in which actor Barry Keoghan is seen dancing in the nude to the song.
And Sophie’s already working on new music, according to her husband Richard Jones, who responded to a fan’s calls on X to “come back with disco dance”.
He teased: “Don’t you worry. Sophie’s been talking about this way before what’s happening with Murder.. weeks before Saltburn we’ve already had CD [Cathy Dennis] and RX [Richard X] in our house.
“Bangers are incoming!”
Dennis co-wrote Sophie’s 2007 single Catch You, while Richard collaborated with her on the 2011 single Starlight.
