Sophie Ellis Bextor’s 2001 single Murder on the Dancefloor has matched its original highest chart position, propelled back to No 2 thanks to its part in Emerald Fennell’s hit film Saltburn.
Murder on the Dancefloor re-entered the UK Top 40 at No 8 last week after Saltburn premiered on Amazon Prime on 22 December. Many households watched Fennell’s film about destructive desire across the class divide during the festive season – and shrivelled on the sofa when they realised that the country-house flick, set in 2007, was more debased than your average Downton episode.
