Create a leaderboard of artists ranked by how many albums they've released. Artists with the same number of albums should have the same rank.

Schema: Artist

ColumnType
ArtistIdINTEGER (Primary Key)
NameTEXT

Schema: Album

ColumnType
AlbumIdINTEGER (Primary Key)
TitleTEXT
ArtistIdINTEGER (Foreign Key → Artist.ArtistId)

Requirements:

  • Count albums per artist
  • Use RANK() to assign rankings (same count = same rank)
  • Return ArtistName, AlbumCount, and ArtistRank
  • Order by rank ascending, then ArtistName ascending to break ties
  • Show top 15 artists

Note on RANK vs DENSE_RANK:
