I'm pretty sure that my looming geezerhood explains why I first read the penultimate word in this front page teaser as a noun:
ArtsBeat: Jackson’s Death Prompts Record Sales
Well, duh, I thought. But no. It was an adjective.
In total, Mr. Jackson sold 415,000 albums in the United States last week, according to the preliminary numbers; final numbers are expected on Wednesday. The week before, he sold only 10,000, and last week’s total is 40 percent more than Mr. Jackson’s entire catalog had sold for the year up to June 21, Billboard reported Tuesday night.
[...]
[...] A total of 58 percent of the sales last week were downloads, and Mr. Jackson has become the first artist to sell more than a million song downloads in a single week.
