Some more input, in case someone else sees something I can't:

95. Timbuk 3 + 41. I WANNA GO back = Britney Spears

Coldplay had a hit with Paradise, but I can't find another Coldplay song.

I think You've got a Friend is going to wind up pairing with Nightingale for Carole King, but I haven't put it in yet.

I've already paired Enjoy Yourself with ABC for the Jacksons, although it could be argued that one is the Jacksons, and one is The Jackson 5.

37. He's got THE WHOLE WORLD in his hands + 99. Guns and ROSES = Outkast

That means Paris is the Chainsmokers song.

The song title for All Right Now hasn't been used yet, which could provide an alternate Van Halen song (Right Now).

Unfortunately, I don't see another song by any other group that recorded a song called Dreams.

Someone else had talked about "Escape" as a Rupert Holmes song that might work. I think his only other hit was called "Him," and the only song title with the word Him in it is Na Na, Hey Kiss him Goodbye, which we're already using for Prince. And I can't find another Prince song among the titles.

1. Boys DON’T Cry + 88. PERFECT = Ed Sheeran

Well, that solves one mystery.

62. is Look What You've Done, by JET, not the Marvin Gaye song.

62. JET + 8. Let MY LOVE open the door = Paul McCartney and Wings

May need input from the meister on this one.

The Twisted Sister song bothers me. Stevie Nicks did do a song called "Twisted" on the Twister soundtrack, but it didn't chart.

I could pair that up with "Dreams," if I move Van Halen over to Right Now.

But Dreams is credited to Fleetwood Mac, even though Stevie wrote it.

Am I barking up a blind alley here?

The Peter and Gordon song bothers me.

I can't find any song titled "Peter" or "Gordon."

There's a few songs titled "Nobody," but the only one that really had chart success was Sylvia, back in the 70s. She did have a couple of country hits, but nothing that fit with these songs.

I can't find any songs titled "I Know"

Anyway, I've got to stop. We're so close, but I've been staring at it too long.

There's a false statement here. Find it and you will solve two problems.

Some quick research before going to work reveals that Keith Sweat had a #3 hit with "Nobody" in 1996. He also did a song called Twisted. Someone else will have to compile the formal match(es)....

After much casting about, I found out that Keith Sweat had major hits with both "Nobody" and "Twisted," both in 1996, even.

58. NOBODY I know + 28. TWISTED Sister = Keith Sweat

I have no idea why these two songs didn't turn up on all the other searches I was doing last night.

13. I wanna BE WITH YOU + 82. ESCAPE Club = Enrique Iglesias

That means that this one truly is right:

4. YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND in me + 70. Maxine NIGHTINGALE = Carole King

And I think we're done.

There are other Poison songs, but they might have had duplicate words in the title that might have confused the issue.
Plus, I try to look for songs by the artists I haven't used before.
