group-by

Hello, I have an sql select query that has a group by. I want to count all the records after the group by statement. Is there a way for this directly from sql? For example, having a table with users I want to select the different towns and the total number of users

select town, count(*) from user
group by town

I want to have a column with all the towns and another with the number of users in all rows.
