   • 2021 October 20, “Stop & Examine”, in RAIL, number 942, page 70:

     The set includes all of the LTM's [London Transport Museum's] best-selling vintage and modern moquette patterned socks, [...].

Usage notes

• Frequently used to imply high quality of the goods. Because of the value of such a designation, marketers often invent a class with narrow characteristics in order to describe a product as the best-selling in its class, even though other products with subtle differences may achieve far greater sales.
