This template is used to [[WP:CITE|cite sources]] in Wikipedia. It is specifically for [[album]]s. A similar template for use when citing sources for musical singles can be found at [[Template:Singlechart]]; however, for EPs or other releases, it has not yet been developed.

(contracted; show full)
''Billboard'' charts all require the artist name and an id number. This can be found by looking up the artist on www.billboard.com. For example, searching for Katy Perry on www.billboard.com will lead to http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/katy-perry/958673 . 958673 is the id number for Katy Perry. This is passed through the ''artistid'' parameter. For example, 
*{{tlc|albumchart|Billboard200|1|4=artist=Katy Perry|5=artistid=958673}}
⏎
⏎
  is the syntax for citing a number 1 position on the ''Billboard'' 200 for Katy Perry.

*A list with a high number of '''artistid'''s [[User:Hahc21/Albumchart/Billboard_IDs|can be found at this page]], compiled by [[User:Hahc21]].⏎
