Avoid drop once that dropped items count reach some limit

Question

I am using Jquery UI Draggable. I'm trying to avoid items from be dropped once that the div which will receive that items reach a limit. As you can see below, here is my code.

 $( "#grid-list" ).droppable({
        over: function(event, ui) {
          count = 0;
          $("#grid-list").find("li").each(function () {
            count++;

            if(count > $("#grid-list").data("albumlist")){
              alert("limit reached");
            }
          });
        }
      });

Edit, Updated

Try removing ondragstart="drag(event)" , draggable="true" from html , drag not appear defined at js; setting tolerance:"touch" at .droppable() options ; substituting $("> li", this).length for count , $("#grid-list").each() ; >= for > if expected result is 1 element maximum within .droppable() element ; call event.preventDefault() , event.stopPropagation() within over event

  $("#list-albuns, #grid-list").sortable({
    connectWith: ".connectedSortable"
  }).disableSelection();

  $("#grid-list").droppable({
    tolerance: "touch",
    over: function(event, ui) {
      if ($("> li", this).length >= $(this).data("albumlist")) {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.stopPropagation();
        alert("limit");
      }
    }
  });

ul li {
  display: inline-block;
