Music  
video service [Vevo](http://vevo.com/?ref=hypebot.com) released a quarterly report this morning  
demonstrating user trends for their music videos, spanning from April  
– June 2012\. The numbers are indeed impressive and include 3 billion video  
streams worldwide each month. **Mobile is quickly on the rise** for the service and  
during the second quarter of 2012, the  
service saw more than 1.3 billion streams from mobile devices and grew its monthly  
mobile active user base by 33% to 5 million people. The company has also seen  
18 million downloads so far of its smartphone and tablet apps, according to the  
data.

  
During  
the second quarter of 2012, Vevo saw an average of 429 million monthly viewers  
representing a 5% increase from the same time period last year. Monthly video  
streams also increased from last year by 9.6%, averaging 3.2 billion streams.

Not surprisingly, mobile continues to be Vevo’s fastest  
growing platform with 18 million mobile and tablet apps downloaded to date (up  
146% from the same time period last year), with Vevo’s most popular mobile  
platform being iOS. The  
company has said that mobile traffic was up 463% year-over-year, and  
that mobile traffic nearly doubled between the first and second quarter of  
this year. 450 million mobile video streams were accounted for in June  
alone, and mobile users are also now watching an average of 15 videos each  
month, according to the data.

Over the past year, Vevo  
claims 40 billion music videos were watched globally, but with only a  
relatively small percentage coming from the U.S. at 9.3 billion views. The company  
continues to see accelerated viewership growth by employing the use of  
dedicated apps for mobile devices for iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone 7,  
and BlackBerry Playbook. The service also works form within mobile web browsers.

The top music videos during the second quarter of 2012 were Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” with 125 million views, Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" with 98 million, One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" with 94 million, Jennifer Lopez's "Dance Again" with 87 million, and Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" with 72 million.
