If your query works, you are not using MySQL.

The answer to your question would then be:

select Top 1 ClientName
From _Client
group by ClientName
order by count(*) desc;

In other words, you have to select the field that you want.

Note: There could be ties. If you want all top client names:

select Top (1) With Ties ClientName
From _Client
group by ClientName
order by count(*) desc;
