Mp3tag doesn't count albums. It works with individual tracks.

What you can try is to export a list of your tracks, sorted by album and then count them externally:

> [@Count total number of albums](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/count-total-number-of-albums/12486):
>
> Is there a simple way to use MP3tag to count the total number of albums in my tagged music collection? I have several hundred albums, all in one big directory. I need to count the total number of albums seen by MP3tag so I can compare that total with the total seen by my network music player via the music server in my NAS drive.
