Thanks to Dorte for this from Billboard Rising vocalist Dido launched a U.S. tour last night at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., just as her Arista debut album "No Angel" has risen to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and to a new high of No. 120 on The Billboard 200, all in its 45th week. "No Angel" has sold more than 254,000 copies in the U.S., according to SoundScan. But thanks to an unlikely ally, Dido's stock seemes primed to rise even further. Eminem's "Stan," on which he samples Dido's "Thank You," is soon due for release as a single. The cut is No. 13 this week on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks tally. Here are Dido's tour dates: Aug. 1: Boston (Avalon) Aug. 2: New York (Regis Live) Aug. 3: Chicago (Vic Theatre) Aug. 4: Minneapolis (the Quest) Aug. 7: Seattle (Showbox) Aug. 8: Portland, Ore. (Aladdin Theater) Aug. 10: San Francisco (Warfield Theater) Aug. 11-12: Los Angeles (Greek Theater, opening for Sting) Aug. 14: Los Angeles (John Anson Ford) Aug. 17: Houston, Texas (Numbers) Aug. 18: Austin, Texas (Music Hall) Aug. 20: Atlanta (Variety Playhouse) Aug. 21: New York (Roseland Ballroom) Thanks to Sarahj for this Soaring Like a Goddess "I'm a nice British girl," the achingly romantic singer named Dido announced from the stage of the 9:30 club Monday night. The explanation seemed necessary, given that one of her tender love songs has become a highlight of the latest hateful, profane CD by rapper Eminem.
