SQL course: reporting with SQL: Counting groups challenge 1 out of 2 help!

This is the code I have come up with. I have tried to consider what else it could possibly be but have not had any ideas.

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

I also came to the same conclusion. The error produced is useless ("Bummer: Your query didn't perform the correct count.")
