How High Can Sophie Ellis Bextor’s ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ Shimmy Up the Hot 100 After ‘Saltburn’ Bump?

Just how high can Sophie Ellis Bextor dance up the Billboard Hot 100 with her resurgent, Saltburn powered hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” 20 years after the song’s initial release? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about the buzzy early aughts song, which this week debuts at No.

98 on the Hot 100 and rebounds to No. 8 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart (on which it peaked at No. 2 back in 2001). The “Murder” renaissance is all thanks to a scene in the Emerald Fennell directed film in which star Barry Keoghan dances naked to the nu disco track around the title English estate.
