<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

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)
 
:<code><nowiki>{{albumchart|Billboard(Specific identifier)|(Peak position)|artist=|artistid=|refname=|accessdate=30 May 2012}}</nowiki></code>

Following, the parameters for any UK chart (except for the main UK parameter, UKChartStats and UKZobble):
 
:<code><nowiki>{{albumchart|UK(Specific identifier)|(Peak position)|artist=|date=YYYY-MM-DD|refname=|accessdate=30 May 2012}}</nowiki></code>


==Manual Referencing==
If the following situations arise:
#The album name contains special characters that the <code>album=</code> parameter doesn't handle correctly and returns an url error.
#When the template will be used for year-end charts instead of weekly charts.
#When the chart position is retrieved from a source other than the default by {{tlc|albumchart}} such as ''Billboard'''s Chart Beat or Allmusic.
Then a manual reference might be needed. When manual referencing is activated, the user ''must'' provide the <code>url=</code> and <code>title=</code>, and may additionally provide <code>work=</code>, <code>page=</code>, <code>date=</code>, <code>location=</code> and <code>publisher=</code>, just like on the {{tlc|cite news}} template, to add a different source than the commonly used by {{tlc|albumchart}}, as this:
*<code><nowiki>{{Albumchart|Australia|1|</nowiki>'''<nowiki>M|title=Madonna's "MDNA" Tops ARIA Charts|url=http://www.billboard.com/#/news/madonnas-mdna-tops-aria-charts-1584845.story|work=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media|location=United States</nowiki>'''<nowiki>|accessdate=9 June 2012}}</nowiki></code>
And it will show as this:
{| class="wikitable"
!Charts
!Peak<br>position
|-
{{User:Hahc21/Template:Albumchart|Australia|1|M|title=Madonna's "MDNA" Tops ARIA Charts|url=http://www.madonna.com/|work=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media|location=United States|accessdate=9 June 2012}}
|-
|}
<references />
This mode can be used simultaneously with the normal mode of the template, without the need to change the '''refname''' parameter.⏎
⏎
==Fields==
The parameters ''publishdate'', ''accessdate'', and ''refname'' are optional. Whether the other parameters are required or not depend on the chart being referenced. See the tables in the [[#Support|Support]] section below.
(contracted; show full)=== Albumchart category ===
{{category|Albumchart}} contains all articles that make use of the template.

==See also==
*{{tl|Singlechart}} — counterpart of ''Albumchart'' but for chart positions for single releases.
