hmv is a British retail company dealing in music, film, games, and technology products. The first hmv-branded store was opened by the Gramophone Company in London in 1921. The name "hmv" was derived from the painting His Master's Voice, which featured a dog named Nipper listening to a gramophone. The chain expanded significantly throughout the 20th century, becoming a prominent retailer of vinyl records, cassette tapes, and later CDs and DVDs.
In recent years, hmv has faced challenges due to the rise of digital music and online streaming services. The company has entered administration multiple times, leading to store closures. However, it has been rescued by different buyers and continues to operate a reduced number of stores, focusing on physical media, merchandise, and experiences.
