For starters, there's Frank Sinatra. He won the 1953 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in "From Here to Eternity." He had three top-charting singles in the UK: "Three Coins in the Fountain" (1954), "Strangers in the Night"(1966) and "Somethin' Stupid," a 1967 duet with his daughter Nancy.

Then there's Barbra Streisand, who shared 1968 Best Actress honors with Katharine Hepburn in a rare tie. Streisand won for "Funny Girl"; Hepburn for "The Lion in Winter." Streisand's only No. 1 single in the UK was "Woman in Love" from the album "Guilty,' which was co-written and co-produced by Barry Gibb.

Oscar winners who came close to No. 1 hits on the UK charts were Bing Crosby ("Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy", a No. 3 hit in 1982 with David Bowie); Jamie Foxx, who reached No. 2 with "Gold Digger" (a 2005 duet with Kanye West); and Jennifer Hudson, who reached No. 11 with her song "Spotlight."
