I pasted the article so you could see for yourselves. It's not saying that it ranks higher than FB. It's referring only to US social media traffic.

StumbleUpon has beaten Facebook as the No. 1 source for social media traffic in the US, according to analytics site Statcounter. 
StumbleUpon has beaten Facebook as the No. 1 source for social media traffic in the US, according to analytics site Statcounter. The news was posted by StumbleUpon founder and chief Garrett Camp on his Twitter account.
According to Statcounter data, StumbleUpon accounted for about 43% of the US social media traffic on January 1, while Facebook accounted for about 38%.
Statcounter reportedly tracks 15 billion page views on the Web per month on more than three million websites. Among social media sites, it tracks the top seven are StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Myspace and Digg.
Interestingly, during the same period in 2010, StumbleUpon made up 30% of the traffic, while Facebook had 48%.
In April 2010, Statcounter stated that Stumbleupon was consistently in the top two social media sites in terms of generating traffic in the US, actually bypassing Facebook back in March 2010 by over 10%.
According to Hitwise data released today, Facebook.com was the top visited website in the US in 2010, taking up 8.93% of site visits between January and November 2010. Google.com came in second at 7.19%, Yahoo Mail is third with 3.52% and Yahoo.com is fourth at 3.30%. YouTube came in fifth at 2.65 %.
While Hitwise came to the same conclusion back in March, this is the first time Facebook has been named most visited site of the year (crowding out last year's winner Google). Comscore also shows Facebook.com passing Google.com in visits in November but all Google sites as still having more. According to Hitwise, visits to Google properties combined cover 9.85% of all site visits, making Google a formidable opponent.
"Facebook" also ranked #1 for most searched term of the year directly in front of the hilarious "Facebook login" at #2.
