Sophie Ellis Bexter is turning into the Kate Bush of 2024.
The Brit disco singer has hit number 1 on Spotify’s viral US singles chart with “Murder on the Dance Floor.” The song is featured at the end of the movie “Saltburn,” when star Barry Keogh dances naked through a castle he’s inherited by killing all of the family that owned it.
“Murder on the Dance Floor” has also hit number 19 on iTunes singles chart, a fact that may convince radio programmers to start adding it to their top 40. The people have spoken!
The song was originally released in 2002 and was a modest hit in the US, and much bigger in the UK. Producers of this year’s Oscars show should consider getting Ellis-Bexter to come perform the number to some montage or clip package, and have Keoghan do a little dance in his tuxedo.
