Great, but why? Is the song being used in an ad in the UK right now or something?

This is most likely because it was covered by one of the X Factor contestants a few weeks ago on the show!

but how does it get there without a single being released? or is it a download chart or something

The UK charts changed about 18 months ago so that both physical and download sales for a single could count towards a chart position - it has changed again now so that the song doesn't even need to be released as a single to make the chart - meaning that any song can make it onto the chart if it gets strong enough sales.
When the Arctic Monkeys last album was released, a lot of people bought the album tracks individually, so when the singles chart came out there were a dozen or so Monekys tracks in the chart!
At the moment if you look you can probably find a few old Christmas songs lurking around the the chart - All I Want for Chrismtas (Mariah Carey) and The Pogues (Fairytale of New York) seem to re-appear at this time of year.
Hope this makes sense

If this is based on that GOD AWFUL cover sang by Diana Vickers on X-Factor, then people are going to get an unpleasant surprise when they listen to the version they've downloaded 
... and if they've never heard the U2 version of With or Without you before, then that's amazing.
