02 Feb Top 50 Branded Facebook Fan Pages, January 2012: Nokia leaps, Monster slips

Posted at 14:08h in Facebook Marketing by

The latest monthly list of the Top 50 Branded Facebook Fan Pages is now available for January 2012, and several brands made impressive runs to kick off the year. While some brand grew slowly in the way I described recently on Mashable.com, many more brands bucked that trend and grew 5, 10, even 39% percent in one month.

Fastest Growing Facebook Pages

The fastest growing branded Facebook fan pages of January 2012, by percentage growth, are:

  1. Nokia, which grew 39% and broke on the list at #50
  2. Xbox, which grew 19% and moved up 3 spaces to #17
  3. McDonalds, which grew 18% and moved up 1 space to #18
  4. Google Chrome, which grew 15% and moved up 5 spots to #37
  5. Mozilla Firefox, which grew 10% and moved up 1 spots to #46

Biggest Losers

As usual, those who lost ground in the chart did so despite adding fans. They just didn’t grow as fast as those around them on the chart. Those who fell the most this month include:

  1. Monster Energy, which fell 3 slots to #20
  2. Nike Football, which fell 3 slots to #35
  3. Walmart, which fell 2 spots to #25
  4. Reese’s, which fell 2 spots to #38; and
  5. Taco Bell, which fell 2 spots to #42
