With over 75 years of music retailing history and 559 stores worldwide, HMV is the world's premier retailer of music. Throughout the entire period of its trading history, HMV had been a part of the EMI Group of companies, but in March 1998 it was sold to form a new retail concern - the HMV Group - that also comprises the Waterstones and Dillons bookchains. Continually growing within the international retail music industry, HMV has proven itself as an innovative leader in Canada since 1986.
