Sophie Ellis-Bextor Booked to Perform Viral ‘Saltburn’ Hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ at 2024 BAFTA Awards


The 2001 disco-pop song entered the Billboard Hot 100 this year due to its inclusion in the film.

The unlikely second act of Sophie Ellis-Bextor ‘s 2001 dance pop jam “Murder on the Dancefloor” will get one more spin in the spotlight when the singer performs the song at the upcoming BAFTA Film Awards 2024. The 23-year-old song co-written by Ellis-Bextor and New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander for the singer’s debut album, Read My Lips, matched its U.K. chart heights earlier this month when it hit No. The divisive murder sex drama starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant was nominated for five BAFTA Awards, including best actor in leading role for Keoghan, best supporting actor for Elordi, best actress for Pike, best original score for Anthony Willis and outstanding British film.
