‘Saltburn’ Sends ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ Into Australia’s Top 40


Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s 2001 hit is flying in Australia thanks to “Saltburn,” which stars homegrown newcomer Jacob Elordi.

The British pop veteran’s 2021 hit “Murder On The Dancefloor” (Universal) returns to the top 40 on the ARIA Singles Chart, published Friday, Jan. 12, powered by the dark-energy of Saltburn. The song is enjoying fresh life thanks to its appearance late in the hit Amazon Prime film, which stars Australian newcomer Jacob Elordi, and is separately making climbs up the Billboard Hot 100 and Official U.K. Singles Chart. “Murder” is platinum certified in Australia and is one of Ellis-Bextor’s three top five hits in these parts, including Spiller’s 2000 leader “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love),” for which she was the uncredited vocalist.
