Isn’t it wild how the universe has a weird way of making old hits feel brand new again? Take “Murder on the Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, for example — a disco-pop bop that sashayed out in 2001, only to come strutting back into the spotlight over two decades later. With Mercury in retrograde and a dash of Scorpio’s intensity in the air, it’s almost like the stars themselves conspired to resurrect this tune thanks to the outrageous, utterly bonkers naked dance scene in Saltburn. I mean, who knew that Barry Keoghan’s devilish twirls could spark a viral frenzy that shot this track up to #2 on the UK charts in 2024? If this isn’t proof that some dancefloor dramas are truly written in the cosmos, I don’t know what is. Ready to dive deeper into this retro-revival tale? LEARN MORE.

“Murder on the Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor dropped in 2001. Over two decades later, it went viral all over again in 2023 after Saltburn‘s release!
Originally released in 2001, this disco-pop gem had a hugeee second life after being featured in the iconic closing scene of Saltburn. Barry Keoghan’s very evil (and very naked) performance sent the song into a viral frenzy, causing an outburst on TikTok and launching into a streaming comeback. A whole 22 years later, the track peaked at #2 on the UK charts, proving that naked (and perhaps murderous?) dancing never goes out of style.
