G-Music Limited is a company built in 2002 by Rose Records and Tachung Records,[1] both are the largest local music retails and wholesale chains in Taiwan. The physical retail arms have been kept separate, for different customer bases and brand identity, but the e-retailing, wholesale and distributor business is unified as Rose Tachung Records.
The two chains originally teamed up to create Taiwan's popular music ranking, the G-Music Chart (Chinese: 風雲榜 fēngyúnbǎng).[2][3] The chains had around 60 locations in 2002.[4] Tachung's network includes Taiwan's only remaining specialist classical CD store, opposite the Taipei YMCA on Hsu Chang St.[5] G-Music Chart remains the most popular record chart in Taiwan.[6][7][8][9]
