Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's here
An alternate version of "Mad World" was featured in the Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors (Season 2, Episode 10), which aired June 5, 2026. [1] Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" was originally recorded with Michael Andrews for the 2001 film Donnie Darko, cementing it as a recurring soundtrack staple tied to that cult film. [2] The song became the UK Christmas number-one single in 2003, giving it a lasting cultural foothold that keeps it charting periodically. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
