In late 2000, Sophie Ellis-Bextor emerged as a major star alongside Italian DJ/producer Spiller on the single "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)." Though very popular in the clubs as an instrumental, the track started selling like mad with Ellis-Bextor's voice added to its deep grooves. It was a number one hit on singles charts around the world. A year later, she was again making waves with the pop single "Take Me Home." Thanks to that effort, she beat the likes of Five to the number one spot on the U.K. singles chart. That same year, Ellis-Bextor served up another chart-topper in the ultra-cool disco tune "Murder on the Dancefloor," which was a smash throughout Europe.
