Write a query to return the following fields from the Album table, sorting the results in ascending order of Title:
The first two rows you should see.
Add a WHERE clause to the query to show only albums which reached number 1 in the US Billboard 200 chart.
Check the value of the US_Billboard_200_peak column to do this.
Write a separate query in the same script to show albums which were number 1 in the US Billboard 200 year end chart.
The first results you should see.
Create a separate query in the same script to show albums which made it into the top 10 in the US Billboard 200 chart. To do this, check if the album's peak chart position was less than or equal to 10.
We've sorted the results in descending order of chart position then ascending order of Title.
Write another query in the same script to return all the diamond-certified albums. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) certifies an album as diamond when it has sales of at least 10 million.
The first few results you should see if you sort the albums by Title.
Save the query as Chart Topping Albums.sql and close it.
