Note
The spelling does double duty. As a plural noun it often stands for press coverage as a whole, as in making headlines, where no countable set of titles is meant. The same form is also the present tense of the verb for top billing: a band headlines a festival. A subject directly before it usually signals the verb; an article or adjective signals the noun.
