Last month, Samsung Mobile broke into the Top 50 Branded Facebook Fan Pages for the first time, climbing 7 spots to reach #48. They made the same leap this month, growing 14% and climbing another 7 spots to #41, growth almost as fast as their market share.

Most brands in the list, however, grew only about 2% in what was otherwise a mostly quiet month for growth among these huge fan pages.

Fastest Growing Branded Facebook Fan Pages

The top 5 fastest growing branded Facebook fan pages in July were:

1. Samsung Mobile, up 7 spots and 14% to #41;
2. Target, up 5 spots and 12% to #19;
3. Mozilla Firefox, stayed at #40 despite growing 7%;
4. Coca Cola, grew 6% and stayed at an already impressive #3; and

Biggest Losers

1. Yahoo, despite their new CEO, was down 3 spots to #47;
2. Reese's, despite their chocolatey-peanut buttery goodness, dropped 3 spots to #48; and
3. adidas Originals, despite the Olympics, dropped 2 spots to #24
4. 10 brands fell one spot each.
