Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2001 single Murder on the Dancefloor has returned to the Top 10 after starring in Prime Video's new controversial film Saltburn.
In the Golden Globe-nominated film, Sophie's 22-year-old hit single resurfaced in one of the final scenes of the thriller-comedy.
Fans are obsessed with the new film on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, sending Sophie's Platinum-certified song skyrocketing up the charts.
The song reached number 8 – Sophie's first time in the charts since 2007 – and has also climbed to the top of the Spotify charts in the United States.
The hit film stars Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant and is directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell.

And in the very last scene of the film, Barry's character dances around a mansion completely naked while the 2001 song plays in the background.
Sophie shared the great news with her fans and thanked viewers for playing the song over and over again since the film came out.
She shared a photo of the album on X, formerly known as Twitter, and wrote: “xxxxxx thank you!”
The film follows a seemingly working-class Oxford University student from Merseyside, played by Barry, 31, who falls in love with upper-class student Felix, played by Jacob, 26.
The song's second hit comes after Sophie performed her own version of Saltburn's ending scene to celebrate New Year's Eve on Sunday.
She looked stunning in a multi-coloured sequin dress as she kicked and writhed down the stairs to the beat of the song in a TikTok video.

The singer originally released her hit single in 2001
Sophie spoke to Pink News in November about the use of her song in the film, saying: 'I really loved the film.
βIt's funny because when you're asked if a song is involved in something, you always get a little synopsis or a rough idea of ββthe placement. I just thought it was brilliant. It's so beautifully shot.
The script is bouncy and fun, sharp and witty, and then you get someone dancing completely frontally naked to my song. I can't wait for more people to see it. It's quite an unexpected moment.'
Saltburn is nominated for two Golden Globe awards: Best Actor β Motion Picture Drama for Barry and Best Supporting Actress β Motion Picture Drama for Rosamund.
