The Donegal based singer, who is one of the most prolific and successful recording artists on the UK charts, is the only artist in the world to score a hit on the UK album charts every year since 1988, an unprecedented and unbroken 35-year span. In doing so, he has outshone everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna to U2 and the Rolling Stones.

O’Donnell’s 17th special, “Daniel O’Donnell from Castlebar, Ireland,” released March 2023 and is airing on select Public Television stations nationwide. O’Donnell’s latest, I Wish You Well, released on Nov. 4, 2022, and entered the official UK Album Charts at No. 16.

Including this latest release, O’Donnell has now amassed 48 Top 75 albums, including 42 Top 40 albums, 30 Top 30 and 20 Top 10 albums, with 18 of the latter being in this century, a feat that has not been achieved by any other recording artist. He has now sold in excess of 15 million albums worldwide.

O’Donnell also burst into superstardom in the United States and Canada in 2002 with his first-ever PBS special, “The Daniel O’Donnell Show.” That began a special relationship between O’Donnell and PBS that has lasted more than 20 years.
