Here is one way, using VBA
- run from sheet containing dates

Code: 
Sub CountDates()
    Dim cel As Range, rng As Range, ws As Worksheet, r As Long
    Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion              '[COLOR=#006400]amend range if necessary to match your data[/COLOR]
    
    Set ws = Worksheets.Add
    For Each cel In rng
        r = r + 1
        ws.Cells(r, 1).Resize(, 2) = Array(cel, WorksheetFunction.CountIf(rng, cel))
    Next cel
    With ws.Range("A:B")
        .RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2), Header:=xlNo
        .Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo
        .Resize(, 1).NumberFormat = rng.Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat
    End With
End Sub

If you simply want to be left with the first 5 values, then add this as the last line

Code: 
ws.Range("A6").Resize(Rows.Count - 5).EntireRow.Delete
