He is the Italian label owner with the biggest worldwide hits, international genres and artists, collaborations with the biggest names that have given him countless platinum, diamond, Grammy Awards. Millions of records and streaming sales that, even today, place TIME among the most important labels worldwide.
He was also the only Italian label owner to have been number one in the UK sales charts four times: in 1995 The Outhere Brothers "Don't stop (Wiggle Wiggle)," in the same year The Outhere Brothers "Boom Boom Boom," in 1998 The Tamperer feat. Maya "Feel it" and finally in 2000 Black Legend "You see the Trouble with me."
In 1985 he produced "Fly to me" first Italian record licensed in Japan, from here Giacomo created a new musical genre, a sound called "Eurobeat" that was the natural derivation of the melodies of Parick Cowley and Bobby Orlando. This phenomenon spanned more than a decade contaminating not only the sales numbers but also spanning many aspects of young people's lives, becoming a phenomenon of custom and society.
From 1985 to 2004 he produced 1959 records, the same were then collected into compilation albums that generated extraordinary sales numbers with 100,000 copies per month per release reaching close to 300,000 copies, an escalation that culminated with "Super Eurobeat vol.100": 800,000 copies. Altogether the compilation albums will sell more than 30 million copies in Japan alone, an experience that will also secure the most coveted recognition, 5 Grammy Awards (Compilation Super Eurobeat vol.100 Japan Grammy Award in 1999 and 2000, Compilation Super Eurobeat D Nonstop MegaMix Japan Grammy in 2000, and Compilation Super Eurobeat vol. 110 Special Album Grammy Award in 2000 and 2001).

The 2000s represented a fundamental and radical change in the record market, disrupting both the production chain and the receptive perception, Giacomo Maiolini was able, not only to include mainstream projects, but to adapt his label to the challenges proposed by the market and continue to rack up important successes.
In 2014 he is the creator of the Deejay Time reunion.
In 2021-2022-2023 additional gold, platinum and double platinum records are received.
2024 is the year of Sanremo. Giacomo brings two of the most important international DJs: Bob Sinclar and Gigi D'Agostino, marking the definitive recognition of Dance music. The two artists also come out with their latest singles. Bob Sinclar made fans dance with “Digane” in collaboration with artist Sofiya Nzau, while Gigi D'Agostino's big comeback, after a long illness, played on the notes of “Shadows of the Night” in collaboration with the duo Boostedkids. In just a few weeks the record was a success without territorial boundaries. Time Records, 40 years later, continues to grow with numerous major records (thanks mainly to Giacomo's intuition and scouting), a Youtube channel with over a million subscribers, and always remaining at the top of the charts as well. 5 Grammy Awards (Compilation Super Eurobeat vol.100 Special Album Grammy Award in 1999 and 2000, Compilation Super Eurobeat D Nonstop MegaMix Special Album Grammy Award in 2000, and Compilation Super Eurobeat vol. 110 Special Album Grammy Award in 2000 and 2001).
