Possible error on NSDictionary challenge step 3

This is what I have, the feedback claims the only error is that the year is not set to the correct value, 1969 right? No idea what's going on...

NSDictionary *album = @{@"title":@"Abbey Road", @"artist":@"The Beatles"};

NSMutableDictionary *albumMutable = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:album]; [albumMutable setObject:@1969 forKey:@"year"];

You need quotes around 1969. 

[albumMutable setObject:@"1969" forKey:@"year"];

yep, simple as that. Confused though as the tutorial video immediately before also used a year in the same place... However there were no quotation marks used there either...
