Question

I want to fetch the top 10 most duplicate rows from the following table:

Table Name: votes(id,vote)
--------------------------
1 | Taylor Swift
2 | Maroon5
3 | Maroon5
4 | Maroon5
5 | Taylor Swift
6 | Kanye West

Output Should be something like:

1. Maroon5: 3 votes
2. Taylor Swift: 2 votes
3. Kanye West: 1 votes

How to do that using MySQL only ( if possible )

Thank you
