Milan Popović (; born 29 October 1955), better known as Danijel Popović () or simply Daniel (), is a Montenegrin-Croatian pop singer. Biography 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 to pursue a career in pop music. In 1983, as a regional representative of Montenegro (TV Titograd), he won the right to represent Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Džuli" (Julie). His national victory was somewhat unexpected because most observers saw popular folk singer Lepa Brena, a regional representative of Serbia (TV Belgrade), as a clear favourite. Daniel achieved 4th place in Munich, equaling at the time the best ever Yugoslav placing in the Eurovision Song Contest (Lola Novaković's 4th-place finish in 1962). "Džuli" was also a huge hit in Yugoslavia: the album sold 717,166 copies while the single sold further 80,883 – a huge number for Yugoslavia in both cases. The song was a big hit in many other European countries as well, including Norway, where Daniel played several venues. Early in 1984, he performed at a NRK broadcast TV show prior to the Sarajevo Winter Olympics, playing "Džuli" and a new song called "Miss You". Like many other Eurovision contestants, Daniel failed to build on his triumph, and his commercial appeal gradually declined. By the 1990s, his popularity was already on the wane, though he managed to register one more moderate hit in 1991 – a track called "Daj obuci levisice" (Please Put On Levi's) that he competed with in Jugovizija 1991 representing Croatia (HTV) and placing second, only two points behind the winning song "Brazil" by Bebi Dol. A few years earlier, he had also featured in Lepa Brena's folk hit "Jugoslovenka" (Yugoslav Girl). He stayed in Croatia during the Yugoslav Wars and disappeared into anonymity after a few unsuccessful albums. Tapping into his savings, he opened a studio and started producing records for performers like Nives Celzijus–her first and so far only album Cura moderna (Modern Girl). He would foray back into singing only occasionally. During the summer of 2001, he took part in the Sunčane Skale festival in Herceg Novi, but managed to get only 7 points (winner Ivana Banfić received 107). In early 2005, after an extended commercially barren period in Croatia, Daniel moved back to Montenegro, hoping to resurrect his stuttering singing
