Get Record Count Grouped By Month and Year

Grouping records by their respective month and year based on a date column can be done really easily by simply running the following SQL query:

SELECT
       DATEPART(MONTH, DownloadDate) AS Month,
       DATEPART(YEAR, DownloadDate) AS Year,
       COUNT(DownloadID) AS NumberOfItems
FROM
       Download
GROUP BY
       DATEPART(YEAR, DownloadDate), DATEPART(MONTH, DownloadDate)
ORDER BY
       Year DESC, NumberOfItems DESC

As you can see from the query (above), I am using the "DownloadDate" column to group my records and to also get a count of how many records belong to that month and year.
