MARCH 8TH, 2024 – NEW YORK, NY – Today, Sophie Ellis-Bextor shares a David Guetta remix of one of her most loved and successful songs “Murder on the Dancefloor”—listen HERE.
The brand-new remix and extended remix of the song sees multi-award-winning French DJ, producer, and artist David Guetta team up with Sophie for a pulsating, high-energy, electronic dance version of the track. David Guetta, who has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest stars including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, RAYE and many more, is currently the #4 most streamed artist on Spotify globally.
This summer, Sophie will embark on her first-ever headline tour in North America. Tour dates include San Francisco on May 30th, San Diego on May 31st, Washington, DC on June 3rd, Boston on June 4th, Philadelphia on June 5th, New York on June 6th, and Toronto on June 8th, which are nearly all sold-out. Remaining tickets are available HERE.
Sophie recently made her US late night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing “Murder on the Dancefloor” backed by The Roots and a three piece string section—watch HERE. She also delivered a stunning performance of the song at the 2024 BAFTA Awards—watch HERE.
After featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s recently released and much-talked-about film Saltburn, the 2001 hit “Murder on the Dancefloor” has seen a huge resurgence across the world, resulting in global charting success. Old and new fans are streaming the viral song, and the track is being used as a trending audio for millions of videos across socials. The song continues to garner new achievements, including a Gold Certification in the US and 2x BRIT Platinum Certification in the UK. It has amassed over 140 million streams so far in 2024 (500 million streams to date) and peaked on the Official UK Singles Chart at #2, Billboard Hot 100 Chart at #51, Billboard Global 200 Chart at #10 and in the Top 5 on Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart. “Murder on the Dancefloor” is also the most-added song at US Top 40 & Hot AC Radio, sitting in the Top 20 on both charts. The track previously peaked at #1 on the Spotify Viral 100 Chart and climbed to Top 40 on the US Spotify Top 200. It also hit #1 on the iTunes Dance Chart and Top 10 on the US Shazam Chart.
“Murder on the Dancefloor” became a Top 10 hit worldwide on release 22 years ago, charting at #2 in the UK and within the Top 3 in Australia, New Zealand, and four European countries. The iconic music video, which is now available in 4K for the first time, sees a cunning Sophie compete in a dance competition and deceptively get rid of her fellow contestants. The video was filmed by Sophie Muller and was one of their first videos together, beginning a long working relationship that still continues today.
Sophie recently released the song on 7” vinyl for the first time as a limited edition red 7” alongside a limited-edition red CD single. Both are available for purchase here. She also shared a 7-track Murder on the Dancefloor EP, featuring “Murder on the Dancefloor” alongside the original B-Side “Never Let Me Down,” the Extended Album Version, and remixes from Jewels & Stone, Danny D, Hq and Twin Murder. All tracks were originally released in 2001, but the majority are brand new to streaming services.
