Indefinite Articles and Gender

I am wondering how to translate: "They (man and woman) are some the most famous artists."

My guess:

Ellos son unos de los artistas mas famosos.

Ellos son unos de los artistas mas famosos

I would write:

(Ellos) son algunos de los artistas más famosos.

Ellos may or may not be needed based on context.

Más requires a tilde.

But yes, a mixed group is treated as masculine, even if it is 1 man and a hundred women.

I only switch from unos to algunos because every time I use unos, the native speakers that correct me switch it.
