Notes

For the URL to work correctly the chart name needs to be the three letter code of the chart. For example, hsi is the Hot 100 chart.
The artist name used by Billboard may not match Wikipedia's naming. Be especially mindful of artists whose names contain special characters. For example, an article about a song by P!nk needs to use {{BillboardURLbyName|artist=pnk|chart=hsi}} to match Billboard's url scheme. Billboard is also inconsistent about the use of a leading "The" in a band's name. For this reason, it's usually a good idea to test any urls generated by this template before adding them to an article.
