Published at(LONDON) — Jennifer Lawrence, the 24-year-old Oscar-winning actress and Hunger Games star, is now dominating the international music scene.
Lawrence’s hit “The Hanging Tree” off The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 soundtrack reached #14 on the U.K. singles chart and #12 on Australia’s Top 50, according to Billboard magazine.
“The Hanging Tree” features Lawrence and James Newton Howard, and is written by Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins.
