Deprecated Annotation Code Challenge

I'm trying to pass this code challenge but I think there's something wrong with the challenge. It says I need to take a long parameter although the description says int. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

As the lead developer of an online music service, you have decided to remove the existing buyAlbum method. You'll replace it with a new void buyAlbum method that instead accepts an int parameter for the album ID. Deprecate the existing method and add the method described to the MusicServiceUser class. You don't need to include any code within your new method.

MusicServiceUser.java 
public class MusicServiceUser {
  @Deprecated
  public void buyAlbum(String albumName) {
    // Leave this blank
  }
  public void buyAlbumNew(Long albumId) {
  //
  }
}

Hi,

You are using a wrong name for your method, just change the name of your new method to be the same as the existing one and give it an int albumID parameter:
