Katniss Everdeen is #7 on Time's Most Influential Fictional Characters List of 2014

Katniss Everdeen came it at #7 on Time's annual list of the year's most influential fictional characters, as Time puts it, a "ranking of the onscreen figures that made the biggest impact on the news and our lives this year, for better and sometimes for worse." 

7. Katniss Everdeen

The Hunger Games heroine (played by Jennifer Lawrence) has already secured her status as a feminist role model and a box-office powerhouse. But Katniss is more than a movie icon now: Her three-fingered salute, used in Mockingjay as a signal of rebellion against the Capitol, has become a rallying symbol among pro-democracy protesters in Thailand and Hong Kong.

"The Hanging Tree" Featuring Jennifer Lawrence's Vocals is Topping International Charts

The Mockingjay Part 1 Soundtrack? Sorry, meh. We're in love with James Newton Howard's gorgeous score for Mockingjay Part 1. And even though Jennifer Lawrence says her voice sounds like "a tone-deaf Amy Winehouse," clearly most of the world does NOT agree. Her rendition of The Hanging Tree, with melody by The Lumineers is already topping the international charts.

At press time (on iTunes)  it was #4 in the US, #15 in the UK and #1 in a bunch of countries: Brazil, Poland, Philippines, Indonesia, Czech Republic, Vietnam. It's currently #10 on Amazon's chart - ahead of Yellow Flicker Beat - and #6 on GooglePlay. 

Let's get this baby to #1 worldwide! Wouldn't Jennifer's reaction to having a #1 hit be priceless??
