“Murder On The Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor is more than 20 years old – and is still shaking up the charts at the moment.
Because the 22-year-old catchy tune features prominently in the final scene of the hyped thriller “Saltburn,” the song “Murder On The Dancefloor” will become an increasingly big hit in 2024. The song by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, which was released at the end of 2001, jumped a total of 42 places and is now at number 19, said GfK Entertainment as an investigator for the Official German Charts.
In Great Britain the song even made it to number two. In the film “Saltburn” by director Emerald Fennell (streaming service Amazon Prime Video), main actor Barry Keoghan (31) dances stark naked through a castle.
Monsieur Mathieu comes back
An older film song is also in first place in the German charts – it comes from the French film “The Children of Monsieur Mathieu”, which was released in 2004. A new version went viral on Tiktok last summer and has been shaking up the top 100 ever since, GfK Entertainment said. “He tried for 24 weeks; now Bennett has finally done it: with his techno mix for the choir song ‘Vois sur ton chemin’, the Koblenz DJ is at number one for the first time.”
As in the previous week, “Prada” by cassö, Raye & D-Block Europe is in second place in the single charts. Third place goes to “Greedy” by the Canadian singer Tate McRae (last place fifth). The highest new entries go to hip-hop artist Reezy (“In & Out”, sixth place) and US singer Ariana Grande (“Yes, And?”, eighth place).
“New Year’s Concert” at number twelve
In the album charts, the top positions again consist only of newcomers. At the top is the rapper Jazeek with “Ninetynine”, followed by the English hard rock band Magnum (“Here Comes The Rain”) and the Munich metal band Emil Bulls (“Love Will Fix It”). The “New Year’s Concert 2024” by Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic came in at number twelve.
