Write a solution to find how many times each artist appeared on the Spotify ranking list.

Return the result table having the artist's name along with the corresponding number of occurrences ordered by occurrence count in descending order. If the occurrences are equal, then it’s ordered by the artist’s name in ascending order.

The result format is in the following example​​​​​.
