Daniel is the only artist to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988, outshining the likes of Michael Jackson and Madonna to U2 and the Rolling Stones.
His latest release “Walkin’ In The Moonlight” which contains many original songs, has entered the charts at #21, giving him his 34th Top 30 UK Pop Charts hit.
In total, Daniel has now reached the UK Artist Albums Chart with almost 40 albums and has now amassed 34 Top 30 albums over the course of his career. Daniel has also achieved eight number one hits in the UK music video/DVD charts over that period.
He makes regular appearances in the Billboard World Music Chart, has received an honorary MBE from Queen Elizabeth, appeared on Top of the Pops, had his life celebrated on This Is Your Life and received multiple Entertainer of the Year/Person of the Year Awards in Ireland and the UK .
In the US, where Daniel has a loyal and ever-increasing following, he is winning awards too. In Dakota USA he has been inducted into the Scandinavian-America Hall of Fame for the Humanitarian Award and in 2017 he won the prestigious IBAM award in Chicago.
On screen, Daniel enjoyed recording the reality TV series called ‘Daniel and Majella’s B&B Road Trip’ for the third successive year in Ireland.

The fun that Daniel and his wife Majella had touring the B&B guest houses of Ireland transcended to the viewers. The latest series was one of the most popular programmes on TV in Ireland. “The B&B was a lot of fun because we were on the road together,” Daniel says, adding that he got to see and experience many places in Ireland for the very first time.
Daniel & Majella have also completed the filming of the stateside B&B Roadtrip in September. The series will air later in 2019.
He made his acting debut in spring 2018 on the TV soap ‘Rosna Run’ on TG4, while he led the singing of tribute songs to the late Great Big Tom on the Late Late Show Country Special last April.
All this has seen Daniel’s career on the small screen blossom since he took on the daunting task of being a contestant in the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing, one of the BBC’s top rated shows.
Daniel said “Right now I intend to enjoy every moment of the wonderful opportunities that are starting to come my way in so many different parts of the world. It is a great surprise at this stage of my career to be branching out in new directions, especially on TV, and I am pursuing those new challenges with renewed energy and vigour.”
Daniel’s concerts around the world sell out on a regular basis and after more than 30 years in the spotlight, he is still in love with performing and with audiences the world over.
