Supported by 'Saltburn', Sophie Ellis-Bextor Is Murdering Midweek UK Chart

Sophie Ellis-Bextor continues her dance in the UK charts, thanks in part to the magic of the small screen Saltburn.

The British pop veteran's 'Murder On The Dancefloor' (via Polydor) is proves deadly once againcapturing the zeitgeist through a synchronicity at Emerald Fennell's Saltburnthe dark comedy that caught fire on Amazon Prime Video.

As previously reported, “Murder On The Dancefloor” entered the UK Official Singles Chart last Friday, January 5, at No. 8 — its first top 10 appearance in more than 22 years.

Based on midweek sales and streaming data released by the official chart company, 'Dancefloor' is buzzing. The track is tipped to reach No.3 when the weekly chart is published this Friday, just one spot short of the all-time peak set after its 2001 release.

Noah Kahan's “Stick Season” (Republic Records) is projected to retain the top spot, ahead of former Jack Harlow leader “Lovin On Me” (Atlantic), which is expected to hold on at No. 2.

The top new release should go to Liam Gallagher, whose collaborative single with John Squire, “Just Another Rainbow” (Warner Records), is set for a No.4 debut. As a member of Oasis, Gallagher has amassed eight UK No.1 singles and 26 top 40 appearances. With Beady Eye and as a solo artist, Gallagher has a further six top 40 appearances. Squire, as founding guitarist with fellow Manchester rock favorites The Stone Roses, has four top 10s and 15 top 40 appearances in the national singles survey.

Meanwhile, US artist Teddy Swims could crack the UK top 10 for the first time with “Lose Control” (Atlantic), which climbs 10-7 on the Official Chart Update.

Sheffield, England-formed rock band Bring Me The Horizon are on track for an eighth top 40 appearance with “Kool-Aid” (RCA), new at No. 12 on the chart blast.

Finally, the “wing” of Sabrina Carpenter (Polydor) flies in the blast, with 33-17. If it continues its run, “wing” will become the American singer and actress' first UK Top 20 single. She's already the top performer of her career, surpassing “Skin” (No. 28) and “Nonsense” (No. 32).

All will be revealed when the official UK Singles Chart is released this Friday, January 12.
