Hey everyone,

Trying to work on a query that will return the top 3 selling products with the three having a distinct artist. Im getting stuck on getting the unique artist.

Simplified Table schema

Product ProductID Product Name Artist Name

OrderItem ProductID Qty

So results would look like this...

PID    artist                 qty
34432, 'Jimi Hendrix',        6543
54833, 'stevie ray vaughan'   2344
12344, 'carrie underwood',    1
