List of songs by American artists which reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart

This whole article seems to be something of a content fork to me: all of the information here is repeated at List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, and it would be entirely possible simply to list in that article which artists were American. The article does not list any sources that justify why this is anything other than a non-notable intersection (in fact, it doesn't list any sources at all). I've checked Google News to see if I could find any refs that could establish the notability of this subject, but there doesn't seem to be any. It has been 3½ years since this article was lasted AfDed, and the consensus from that discussion was that it should be kept and cleaned up. However, since that time, it has barely been altered at all. A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 20:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Is there anything special about an American reaching number one on the UK charts? If not, (and I don't think there is) then redirect to List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. If so, then there needs to be reliable sources shown demonstrating what's special about this.  Them  From  Space  02:39, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
