AUGUST 23RD, 2024 – NEW YORK, NY – Today, British superstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor releases a live version of her beloved global hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” recorded at her sold-out Webster Hall show in New York earlier this summer as part of her first-ever headline tour in North America—listen to “Murder on the Dancefloor” (Live From New York) HERE.
 
After featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s much-talked-about 2023 film Saltburn, the 2001 single has experienced a second breakthrough over 20 years after its original release, especially in the U.S., where it’s now officially Certified Platinum with over 580 million Spotify streams to date.  
 
Following her sold-out run across the U.S. and a slew of tour dates with Nile Rodgers & CHIC and festival performances throughout the UK and Europe this summer, Sophie will return to North America next month for a handful of additional dates throughout November. Tour dates include Chicago’s The Vic Theatre on September 3rd, Los Angeles’ The Bellwether on September 6th, San Francisco’s The Fillmore on September 7th, Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on September 13th, Atlanta’s Buckhead Theatre on November 14th, and more—see the full list of upcoming tour dates below. Tickets are available HERE.
 
“Murder on the Dancefloor”’s resurgence across the world has resulted in global charting success this year. In addition to its Platinum Certification in the U.S., the song is certified 2x BRIT Platinum in the UK, and it peaked at #2 on the Official UK Singles Chart, #51 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart, #10 on Billboard Global 200 Chart, Top 5 on Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart, #1 on the Spotify Viral 100 Chart, and more. Earlier this year, Sophie made her U.S. 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.
