Vevo’s History

Vevo, whose name combines video and evolution, wanted to change the way music videos reach fans. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and EMI formed the venture in 2009, with Warner Music group joining the fun in 2016. EMI eventually left the partnership to pursue its own music video delivery system.

The Vevo.com website originally was a music video-streaming platform. Along with its companion mobile app, it was successful at first with both viewers and advertisers. A partnership and profit-sharing agreement with Google meant that Vevo’s videos also streamed on YouTube.

But YouTube and Vevo jostled for power and control. In 2018, Vevo waved the white flag and conceded to YouTube’s monster reach. Going forward, it announced it would shutter its streaming service and apps and focus on cultivating and sharing original content through other channels.

Vevo is now responsible for releasing more than 450,000 videos, with more than a billion viewing hours for its videos each month. Aside from showcasing its artists, it produces original shows, including Ctrl, which follows the journeys of urban music artists, and Rounds, which looks at European artists.
