"Murder on the Dancefloor"Written by Gregg Alexander and Sophie Ellis-Bextor Produced by Matt Rowe and Gregg Alexander The lead single from British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor's debut album 'Read My Lips' was originally released in December of 2001. It has found new popularity thanks to its prominent feature in the thriller 'Saltburn', having gone viral on streaming platforms. A separate thread from the one in Nostalgia was created, and hopefully a push to radio is coming. This was already a huge hit in the UK and across Europe/Oceania, and now it's the US's turn at long last.

FYI, the track is listed as gold (not current) on Mediabase, so Universal needs to switch this up ASAP if they want to promote the track to radio.

Although it's currently classified as 'Gold' status on Mediabase, it is getting quite close to cracking the top 50. Hopefully once it's in the region it will be switched to 'Current' status.

Praying for another RUTH-like chart run (it's already there in the UK) and justice for yet another underappreciated female pop masterpiece. I think this has a decent chance of taking off on this format... It fits right in and, to the average listener, would sound like a new Dua Lipa song. With RUTH, radio didn't really know what to do with it and ended up spinning that awful 2 minute cutdown version.

As Sophie says in the bio on her social media accounts, she's murdering the dancefloor since 2001. Can't wait for the next updates.

As previously mentioned in the thread, the track is listed as 'gold', so this is the main reason why it's still not showing in the building charts or in the spincrease and taking off sections on AllAccess. It depends on Mediabase to make the change from 'gold' to 'current' and this could chart inside the Top 50 whenever it is inside there, which should be in the following days, as soon as tomorrow.

I mean, when I did the mock update five days ago, I used the code of the song listed on AllAccess because I couldn't find it on both spincrease and taking off sections. Also, I'm kind of sure Az has been doing the same during these days as well.

Would be at worst #50 as a current; the mock-up is one spin behind Jelly Roll at #49, and easily clear of Olivia Rodrigo at #50.

Hopefully this gets change from 'gold' to 'current and pop radio stations add and start playing this song. Is she releasing a best of cd or something that will get a USA cd release?

I hope mediabase puts this to current so she could get a hit.

I know they're two different things with different rules, but I have never considered the fact that a song can chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and at the same time not "officially" on pop radio until it flips to current. That feels strange.

I don't remember Running Up That Hill being a gold track during it's revival despite having a CHR run in 1985, is it because the current mediabase chart wasn't around at that time?

That feels strange. Christmas songs do that every year . they also chart on Billboards overall radio charts but not the format ones.

Itโs strange though because I believe Boston had a dance station at the time and Iโm assuming this would have gotten a lot of play??

Is there a clean edit of this? Not an issue in most countries but like Love Again this could be a case of the US being hesitant due to the repeated 'goddamn' or using a sloppy edit that doesn't sound good. (I think 'gonna burn this [beat]damn house right down' should work here though.)
