A UK number one
Hi, I have a question
I see an expression "a UK number one" in the article from BBC.
Together Through Life, his first studio album since 2006, sits in the top slot on both sides of the Atlantic after scoring a UK number one on Sunday.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8037386.stm just in case)
Is this more like a proper noun than a common noun? Like Billboard in US?
I can't read the "a". It seems there is "a" because UK number one is a common noun. On the other hand, it seems there is a because "UK Number One" is a proper noun, but he got one of UK Number One's. I'm being confused.
Help, and Thanks in advance.
