No Angel is the debut album by pop singer/songwriter Dido. Originally released in 1999, it found a mass audience in 2001. As of 2005, the album sold 21 million copies worldwide.[1]

Worldwide success

The success of No Angel was spurred on by Eminem sampling Dido's track, "Thank You" on "Stan", a track from his The Marshall Mathers LP album, released in 2000. The Marshall Mathers LP reached #1 on the US and Canadian charts, and Dido appeared in the music video for "Stan", which was the third single from the album, playing the fictional character Stan's long-suffering girlfriend. While the song only reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA, it went to #1 in the UK and Australia and was an international hit. "Stan" was nominated for a Grammy award for the track (Dido did not sing with Eminem at the ceremony; Elton John sang Dido's section).

The album also began to reach a mass audience, when the debut single, "Here With Me", was chosen as the title music to the hit TV series Roswell. Due to record company conflicts, the album was released in the USA first in 1999, and began surfacing in Dido's homeland, the UK, on import alone. In December 2000, a month ahead of its official UK release, No Angel went top 10 in the UK; a month later it hit #1 when it was officially released as a special edition, featuring the videos to "Here With Me" and "Thank You." "Here With Me" was later released in February 2001, as a commercial single, and reached #4 on the official UK singles chart; it also went top 10 in Portugal and Greece, and top 40 in France, United States, and New Zealand.

"Thank You", the album's second single, was a huge radio airplay success, thanks in part to people recognising the first verse from "Stan", and reached #3 in the UK singles charts . The prior single's, "Here With Me", moderate American success garnered its video (which had two different versions) heavy airplay on MTV2 in 2000. However, it was not until the video for "Thank You" that Dido achieved massive success on mainstream American music television, such as MTV and VH1. The third single, "Hunter", went top 20 on the UK singles charts, while achieving top 10 success in Portugal and Greece. "Don't Think of Me" made the US Adult Contemporary top 40.

No Angel was one of the best selling albums of 2001 throughout the world, being named the biggest selling album of 2001 in the UK and the second best seller in Australia (certified 6x platinum for sales of over 420,000). The album also went top 3 in the US album charts and reached #5 in Canada. Prior to the album's release, a promotional EP entitled The Highbury Fields EP was released in America, featuring four tracks from the album and "Worthless", a track which was only previously featured on a promotional album released by her management in order to gain record company interest, entitled Odds & Ends. The album won the prize for Best Album at the 2002 BRIT awards, where Dido also won the Best British Female award. In 2006, the album was certified 3x platinum in Switzerland, meaning it sold over 100,000 copies there.
