"Angel" was the 17th-most-successful song of 2001 in the US and has sold 1,494,000 digital copies in the US as of April 2016. It was also the second song to reach number one without a retail release, after Aaliyah's " Try Again" (2000), although physical formats would later be issued in the United States on 24 April 2001. According to Billboard writer Silvio Pietroluongo, "Angel" beat Crazy Town's " Butterfly" to number one by a margin of two points, which was the smallest gap between two singles since the magazine began having its charts stored digitally in 1985. It peaked at number one on the chart week of 31 March 2001, for one week. The song first entered the top 40 at number 39 on the week ending 20 January 2001. The song debuted at number 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending 30 December 2000. The chorus melody is from " Angel of the Morning", originally written and composed by Chip Taylor, that has been recorded numerous times and has been a hit single for various artists, including Merrilee Rush and Juice Newton. "Angel" uses the bassline from " The Joker" by Steve Miller Band (1973). "Angel" also proved to be successful, reaching number one in 12 countries, including Australia, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Containing samples from Steve Miller Band's " The Joker" and the Chip Taylor-written " Angel of the Morning", it was released to radio on 9 January 2001 as the follow-up to Shaggy's international number-one hit, " It Wasn't Me". " Angel" is a song by Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy featuring additional vocals from Barbadian singer Rayvon.
