Jennifer Lawrence and her Hunger Games song have made it onto the U.S. charts, Billboard reported Wednesday. “The Hanging Tree” hopped on the Hot 100 at No. 12 after climbing the music charts abroad, in both the U.K. and Australia, earlier in the week. With this feat, Lawrence joins the list of Oscar-winning actors who have also charted, which includes Meryl Streep, Jamie Foxx, Cher, Frank Sinatra, and Barbra Streisand. In her Hot 100 debut, the actress turned bashful singer was even able to beat Taylor Swift’s Hunger Games–related track, which peaked at No. 19 in 2012. (There’s no stopping J.Law, no matter how hard she tries to sandbag on the Late Show.)
