SQL Combine Three tables without common Foreign Keys
I was looking to combine three (or more) tables using SQL Server 2016. It is a music database and I am able to combine the first two without issue. Here are the two tables I am able to combine:
Artist
ArtistID (pk)
ArtName
Song
SongID (pk)
SongTitle
ArtistSong
ArtSongID (pk)
ArtistID (fk)
SongID (fk)
Here is the code snippet I have created to join both tables
SELECT ArtName, SongTitle
FROM ArtistSong aso
JOIN Artist a ON aso.ArtistID = a.ArtistID
JOIN Song s ON aso.SongID = s.SongID;
I was hoping to add a third table, or maybe a fourth that does not share a foreign key with the other tables. I would like to add Album Title to the query. Here is the table for Album
Album
AlbumID (pk)
AlbumTitle (fk)
Should I add Album to the junction table or is there another method I should consider.
Below is an image to the ERD
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Your schema already had an appropriate junction table for albums and songs. Then what is your question?
