If you know the longhand query, why? Eloquent has to convert it right back to this at execution time.
Sorry not an answer, just curious.
I can't test it, but it should be something along these lines.
$results = DB::table('tags') ->join('post_tag', 'tags.id', '=', 'post_tag.tag_id') ->select(DB::raw('tags.id, tags.name, tags.slug, count(post_tag.tag_id) AS tagsCount')) ->groupBy('post_tag.tag_id') ->take(10) ->get();
Edit: I believe you need to use DB::raw in the select statement to use the "AS" to define the field name.
