Daniel

Daniel (Cyrillic: Даниел) is the stage name of Milan Popović (Милан Поповић) (born October 29, 1955 in Titograd, SR Montenegro, Yugoslavia), a Montenegrin pop singer who was very popular in Yugoslavia, most notably in Croatia. He is sometimes credited as Danijel Popović (Данијел Поповић). Born to a Montenegrin father and a Belgian mother, Popović was raised in Titograd, but made his name in Zagreb, where he moved in 1977, pursuing a career in pop music. In 1983, as a regional representative of Croatia (TV Zagreb), he won the right to represent Yugoslavia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Džuli" ("Julie"). The song was a big hit in Yugoslavia and many other European countries as well, including Norway, where Daniel played several venues.

Peel presented Top Of The Pops with Simon Bates and Peter Powell on 23 June 1983 (TOTP), where he was presenting the European chart from Amsterdam, Netherlands. The number 3 on the European chart was from Daniel and Peel introduced the video from the singer:
"Well here we are in one of the older parts of Amsterdam. This (points to a statue) is obviously someone who’s heard too many of my late night Radio 1 programmes – it’s all cobwebs. This next record is by Daniel who’s Yugoslavian, and it’s a huge hit all over Europe, in fact it’s the No.3 record in the European charts. A huge hit that is everywhere except in Britain. It’s called “Julie”." 
According to playlists available on the Peel wikia site, there's no record of him playing any records from Daniel on his radio shows.
