Buckley recently secured the Best Actress prize for her portrayal of Agnes Shakespeare in the film Hamnet, becoming the first Irish performer to win in the category. The high-profile recognition has now translated into commercial gains beyond film, particularly in the music space.
“Wild Rose” enters the Official Vinyl Singles chart at No. 38, marking Buckley’s first top 40 appearance on any songs ranking in the United Kingdom. The track also debuts on the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 50, reflecting strong sales across formats such as vinyl, CD, and other physical releases.
The latest milestone represents Buckley’s first appearance on both the Vinyl and Physical Singles charts, expanding her footprint in the U.K. music market. While she previously charted with “Glasgow (No Place Like Home)”—which briefly appeared on the Official Singles Sales and Downloads rankings—the track did not reach the physical formats where “Wild Rose” is now gaining traction.
The song originates from the film Wild Rose, widely regarded as a breakout moment in Buckley’s career. The musical drama, centered on a Scottish woman pursuing a career in country music, featured a mix of covers and original songs that showcased Buckley’s vocal ability. Her performance in the film also earned her a nomination at the BAFTA Awards.
While her singles presence has been modest, Buckley has achieved greater success on album charts. The Wild Rose soundtrack enjoyed a prolonged run on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart, remaining on the ranking for over a year.
She later collaborated with Bernard Butler, formerly of Suede, on the folk album For All Our Days That Tear the Heart. The project became a top 10 hit across several U.K. charts and peaked at No. 23 on the Official Albums chart. It also topped the Official Folk Albums ranking, where it held the No. 1 spot for three weeks and spent a total of 19 weeks on the tally.
With her Oscar win elevating her global profile, Buckley’s crossover between film and music appears to be gaining new commercial traction, signaling potential for further chart success in both industries.
