Old tracks including Mad World, the Christmas 2003 number one, are set to make a return to the singles chart on Sunday under new rules allowing any downloads to be included - not just new releases.

In addition to Gary Jules' version of Mad World from the Donnie Darko soundtrack, Sunday's new look Official UK Singles Chart is likely to feature iTunes favourites released more than six months ago including Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars and Gnarls Barkley's Crazy - and even The Proclaimers' late-80s hit I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).

Chasing Cars is tipped to be in the revamped chart's top 10, Crazy could hit the top 40, while Mad World and I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) may make the top 100.

The new system also makes it easier for relatively unknown artists to make it into the charts, with Gay Gordon & The Mince Pies' version of Auld Lang Syne set to make the top 75 this weekend.

"The changes are extremely important for the music industry as the chart is now more representative of the actual listening and buying habits of consumers," said Ben Drury, the managing director of music download company 7digital.com.

"Downloads now account for 80% of the singles market by volume so it is a long-overdue and necessary change to count download-only singles."

Mad World Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
