Oscar-nominated actresses Anna Kendrick and Anne Hathaway impact Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart this week. The music chart company released its songs tally on Thursday with the ladies’ tracks from films “Pitch Perfect” and “Les Miserables” marking their debut.
Kendrick is one of many singing actresses in “Pitch Perfect,” a musical comedy film about a struggling college a capella group looking to win a national competition. Among the performances, a standout is “Cups (When I’m Gone),” an endearing number Kendrick performs while shuffling cups. The song debuts at No. 93 while the film’s soundtrack enters the top 10 of Billboard’s albums chart.
Hathaway plays Fantine in the film adaption of the “Les Miserables” musical show. Fantine resorts to prostitution after she is left alone to support daughter Cosette, leaving her a broken and sorrowful woman. The self-pity she experiences culminates to the dramatic song, “I Dreamed A Dream,” which Hathaway sings in an emotional performance. Her rendition debuts at No. 69, the highest peak since Scottish singer Susan Boyle hit No. 62 with the same song back in 2009. The movie’s soundtrack jumps to No. 2 this week behind Taylor Swift’s mega-selling “Red” album.
“Pitch Perfect” was released to home media on December 18 and “Les Miserables” hit theaters on Christmas day.

There’s a lot of reasons to enjoy Pitch Perfect, not least of which is Anna Kendrick‘s musical cups routine. Add to this some good gags, breezy-silly pop music and a strong supporting cast and I’m not surprised the film was a popular hit.
And so it follows that Universal will want a sequel. Speaking to Movieweb, male lead Skylar Astin says he’s on the wish list for returning cast members – and he’s not the only one:
I do have a meeting with a Universal representative next week. And I know that Rebel Wilson had hers last weekend. It’s definitely a talking point.
I’m sure that they’ll be speaking to Kendrick too, and if they can get her – or if they have her on a multi-film contract, and exercise that option – we’ll be seeing a sequel.
The original Pitch Perfect opens in UK cinemas this Friday. I saw it in LA a few weeks back and enjoyed it, with a few reservations about its portrayal of gay characters and a bit of naff slapstick. It’s broadly comparable to Bring It On but certainly not as sharp or well made. Still, I think it’s fun and that’s sometimes enough.
