     JLS is 4.6 from 22 Google reviews. A five-star row is NEVER used to display it:
     at 13-16px a clipped or part-filled fifth star rasterises to the same silhouette as a
     full one and the row reads as 5.0. The numeral carries the value; the single star is
     only a genre marker. Do not reintroduce a five-glyph display row. */
