Jennifer Lawrence's 'Hunger Games' Song Headed For The Top 40

Actress Jennifer Lawrence may not like her singing voice (as she memorably declared on a recent episode of Late Show With David Letterman), but nevertheless, it seems she's about to have a hit single anyway.

According to Billboard, the Oscar-winning actress' "The Hanging Tree," from her film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part I, will likely hit the Top 40 of the Hot 100 this week.
