just wondering if it is possible to get the top 10 COUNT results and ordering by COUNT and alphabetically?

I have the following tables,

Answer 1

Does the query work? If yes, you could use LIMIT 0, 10 to get only the top 10 rows.

SELECT tag.*, COUNT(td.tag_ID) AS tagcount
FROM Tagged td
LEFT JOIN gen_Tags tag ON td.tag_ID = tag.tag_ID
GROUP BY td.tag_ID
ORDER BY tagcount DESC, tag.tag_Title ASC LIMIT 0, 10

Another thing you might be interested in, is ranking. See here: http://www.fromdual.com/ranking-mysql-results

Edit

Maybe a subquery does what you want:

SELECT list.* FROM (
  SELECT tag.*, COUNT(td.tag_ID) AS tagcount, 
  FROM Tagged td
  LEFT JOIN gen_Tags tag ON td.tag_ID = tag.tag_ID
  GROUP BY td.tag_ID
  ORDER BY tagcount DESC LIMIT 0, 10
) AS list ORDER BY list.tag_Title ASC, list.tagcount DESC
