Finding the most popular artists
Something that we haven't been able to do is tie track sales to an artist. Let's change that! You're about to get hands-on using common table expressions to take data from two tables and find the artist with the most minutes listened. Before you get started, make sure to take a peek at the album and artist tables in the output window.
