for solo vocal artists, I believe it was Petula Clark with "Downtown" in January 1965.

for instrumental artists, I believe it was Mr. Acker Bilk with "Stranger on the Shore" in April 1962

The first number one in the American Hot 100 by a British artist was Stranger on Shore by Acker Bill in May 1962.

Later that year in December the British band The Tornadoes had a number one with Telstar.
