Vevo from Best YouTube Alternative

Vevo 1 100x100

What happens if Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group collaborate on a single project? A true miracle. Vevo is the best place to go if you are looking for a hosting with only music. More than 45 thousand music videos, almost every major artist represented and the number of those keeps growing each day. Moments after the launch, the website became one of the most visited among music services. Vevo uses YouTube to reach a bigger community of music lovers because the service itself is available only to a limited list of countries.

The idea of creating a unified platform for all music videos emerged in 2008 when the two aforementioned giants joined their forces. Warner Music Group accepted the invitation as well but decided to go rogue and create a rival alliance to compete with Vevo. But eventually, WMG joined the party in 2016 and allowed Vevo to use its music videos. Vevo is known for having explicit parts of songs cut out of the videos. This move was criticized by many, as they would not be able to listen to their favorite Eminem or someone else’s tracks and enjoy the lyrics fully. The decision of checking songs like that is purely commercial, as the top dogs wanted their videos to match TV standards and be acceptable for as big of an audience as it can get.

Vevo is famous for its awards and records for the most viewed videos overall or after 24 hours since launch. Those awards were given to people like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Eminem, Adele, Maroon 5 and many more.
