Billboard is an international newsweekly magazine devoted to the music industry, and is one of the oldest trade magazines in the world. It maintains several internationally recognized music charts that track the most popular songs and albums in various categories on a weekly basis. The two most notable charts are the Billboard Hot 100, which ranks the top 100 songs regardless of genre and is based on digital sales, radio airplay, and internet streaming data; and the Billboard 200, the corresponding chart for album sales.
You cannot legally call your app Billboard Hot 100.

I have contacted billboard twice regarding the issue but no response so far. I read their terms and conditions and if i understood it correctly it says the site content (song name and track name in case of this app) can be used for non commercial purpose.
Billboards T&C != Market T&C. I've seen plenty of posts here from people getting their apps banned for seemingly innocent actions.
I repeat, I am not a lawyer.
