I would think so. It's a recording of him on a record, it's in.
Mark Wahlberg, before his (Oscar nominated) acting was of course Marky Mark, which he hates being reminded of, but who cares, he's a bit of a prick.
They (Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch) were big in the states, but only had one Top 40 in the UK, with a song called Good Vibrations in 1991. I don't remember it, but as I understand it is not a Beach Boys cover. The follow up reached #42.
Juliette Lewis (& The Licks) also had a musical career which started around the same time (and endured) but without any chart action to speak of.
She did vocals on two Prodigy tracks, Spitfire (#1 on the UK dance chart) and Hotride (#40 in Ireland, ineligible in the UK due to formatting apparently)
They had a follow-up hit from the soundtrack (#27). However, due to streaming, 'Shallow' now has 74 weeks in the Top 100, which might make it the best-selling hit featuring a person whose primary career is film acting since John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John's two smashes in 1978.
Noel Harrison also charted with Windmills of Your Mind (#8 UK)
Rex Harrison's son. Although I'm not sure who his mother is. Have just checked and Rex Harrison had 6 wives. I knew he had a bit of a reputation but 6 wives. Yikes! Only 2 children though.
As mentioned upthread, there are also the Comic Relief abominations to take into account, but they aren't always credited. Hugh Laurie has had two charting albums, and a Billboard Hot 100 single (see one of the other Charts threads), but his sole appearance in the UK singles chart appears to be "Stick it Out" by Right Said Fred and Friends, of which he was one of the friends along with:
Twiggy had a very affecting voice. She might have done more musically I think.
She released a good number of further singles, pretty much all of which bombed. (Vanilla Olay - the follow-up to Here I Go Again - received loads of airplay.)
Bresslaw is also out because he was on the Army Game hit mentioned above. Two Top Ten hits in the same year though (1958) for someone who I only knew as a sidekick in 14 Carry Ons. He was the tallest Carry On actor.
Phil Daniels on Blur's Parklife is his only chart action.
He was/is a musician and his band (Phil Daniels and The Cross) had a contract with RCA but no success, unlike his mate Gary Kemp's group. I also had to check that he didn't contribute to Breaking Glass (the album) and he didn't, he was only in the film. And Gary Tibbs played Hazel O'Connor's bassist, but then didn't play bass on her album.
