Hello MySQL-users !

Houston, I've got a problem here.

I'm running the following query from a PHP-Script:

SELECT years.year AS yearlist, count(years.year) AS gamecount 

FROM years 

LEFT JOIN games 

ON years.year = games.release_year

GROUP BY years.year 

ORDER BY gamecount DESC, yearlist


This query should do the following: 

Every year from years.year should be returned along with the 
number of games that have been released in that year sorted by 
the gamecount.
years.year and games.release_year both do NOT contain NULL.

The problem is the following:

Years in which no games were released are returned with a 
gamecount of 1. Why that??? All other years with games released 
in it are getting the correct gamecount.

Please help me.

Greetings from Germany, Jens Mildner.
