I would think it would be fairly obvious that if I've  given 3 points apiece and I can only give 4, it will be 2 points apiece instead. As Salmon Mousse did but with 22 for Billy Ocean and 19 for Ma Baker. (He seems to have amended one but not the other - I've taken a point of each from my score).

 

Apologies all, brain fade. You'd think I'd know how this game works by now.

 

Corrected.

I like We Are The Champions, but not as much as Somebody To Love and there's too many good ones here to put two Queen songs through.
