Everything seems to be right but isn`t

In the library database there's a books table. There are id, title, author, genre and first_published columns. Count all the books in each genre. Include the genre column first and the genre_count as the second column of information.

SELECT genre, COUNT(genre) AS genre_count FROM books GROUP BY genre;

:point_right: Try counting all rows for each genre:

SELECT genre, COUNT(*) AS genre_count FROM books GROUP BY genre;

And remember to include a link to the challenge itself when you post about one.
