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.

This success is before Billboard has released its Hot 100 singles chart, but the magazine implies she’s primed for a berth on the coveted list.

The song is featured in the movie and performed by Lawrence’s character, Katniss Everdeen, to inspire the rebellion.
