231,184 PointsYou didn't say, but it looks like you're working on task 2. Here's a few hints:
- the instructions ask for an alias of "total_genres" (with an underscore) instead of "total genres"
- you won't need GROUP BY for this task
- you only need to select the count, not the "genre" column
- only count the distinct genres
