Facebook has returned to the number two spot on comScore’s monthly ranking of the most popular video sites in the U.S.

The July 2012 Video Metrix chart shows Facebook with a little more than 53 million unique viewers, which is about 4.5 million more than the usual No. 2, Yahoo.

It should go without saying that YouTube is top site on the chart, with 157 million unique viewers during July.

This isn’t the first time Facebook has held the No. 2 site on comScore’s video rankings. It also happened in August 2010, when both Facebook and Yahoo had more viewers than they did last month.
