He won in December with his song Manya accumulating&nbsp;<strong>8,575<\/strong>&nbsp;new downloads. This is minus the renewals.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s do some math here. Each download costs 550ugx. So, if we multiply 8,575 x 550 = 4,716,250ugx.<br>It means in December alone, the song MANYA made 4.7Million for David Lutalo. And remember, we are talking about only one song. But if you add up all songs ie: Akantu, Kapapala, Ujuwe etc, the totals will add up to millions.<\/p>\n<p>But again, there are multiple TAXES, eg; VAT(18%), EXCISE Tax(20%), DEEMED Costs(20%) etc. So out of 4.7M, an artiste will end up with like 400,000ugx. But again, if an artiste is having like 4 Callertunes that are performing well, in a month he\/she can walk away with an approximate 3-4M only from MTN. Add on AIRTEL and that money will shoot up to like 8-10M.<\/p>\n<p>According to UCC\u2019s report as of 30<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;June 2015, we have 21,910,948 Mobile Phones in the country. When you look at the numbers of David Lutalo, you clearly see that there\u2019s a huge untapped market and it all falls back to players in the Music Industry. The market is readily available but the question is: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HAVE YOUR SHARE of the Cake..!<\/p>\n<p>Here at&nbsp;<strong><em>DMARK<\/em><\/strong>, this is the business we deal in.
