Saltburn is poised to create the next "Running Up That Hill" type smash
"Murder On The Dancefloor" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor is climbing the charts thanks to a Saltburn assist

Love it or hate it—reactions tend to be polarized—Saltburn is one of the year’s most talked-about films. A few eyebrow-raising scenes have solidified its place in the zeitgeist, but Emerald Fennell’s latest has another thing going for it: a show-stopping finale set to “Murder On The Dance Floor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. And if there’s one thing Saltburn fans and detractors can agree on, it’s that “Murder On The Dancefloor” is an all-time banger.
A well-placed musical moment on-screen can completely change the fortunes of an old hit. The most famous recent example is the monumental re-popularization of “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush after it was featured in the fourth season of Stranger Things. (Other examples: “Come And Get Your Love” in Guardians Of The Galaxy or “Bohemian Rhapsody” in Wayne’s World.) “Murder On The Dancefloor” is the latest track to benefit from becoming a film star. Originally peaking at #2 on the U.K. charts back in 2001, the disco-pop tune is now expected to re-enter the Top Ten for the first time in more than 20 years, according to Official Charts.
