You came, you clicked, we counted! Now behold the 100 Sexiest Women on Planet Earth 2012 – chosen by you, you and you over there with your trousers round your ankles (seriously dude, that’s not a strong look for riding the bus, pull ’em up).
You voted in your hundreds of thousands this year – the incredible 18th year of FHM’s 100 Sexiest – and what an eye-popping list of lady-awesomeness it is. Honestly, you’ve done yourselves and the nation proud.
10. Emily Atack
Up from 18 last year, FHM cover star Emily Atack has been the best reason to watch telly for a while now, thanks to her role in The Inbetweeners and a stint on Dancing On Ice.
As well as being consistently stunning, she also recently presented a programme warning of the dangers of binge drinking. It’s like we were made for each other!
Next time we see her, she’ll be starring opposite cockney hobbit Bob Hoskins in Outside Bet, a film about a group of ’80s pals who pool their redundancy cheques to buy themselves a racehorse. Will it win the big race? Who can say? (But yeah, it probably will.)
9. Mila Kunis
If you are in any way troubled by Miss Kunis’s elevated position this year, allow us to refer you to the loopy film Black Swan, in which she diddles Natalie Portman into delirium. Watch it, then come back and we’ll talk.
Kunis is sensationally hot, sensationally funny (she’s the voice of Meg in Family Guy), harder than us (she’s trained in guns, boxing and martial arts), the flawless face of Christian Dior and more than happy to date normal blokes – she enjoyed a night out with a marine last year, after he propositioned her via YouTube. If she didn’t exist, we’d have to invent her.
8. Keeley Hazell
We can’t wait – literally can’t wait. We’re wishing the hours away like spoilt kids in the run-up to Christmas.
7. Megan Fox
You have to be sensationally gorgeous to make our top ten three years running, and though she’s slipped a little since last year, Megan Fox is still mixing it with the big guns – she’s a bona fide Hollywood sex symbol for our times.

You have to be sensationally gorgeous to make our top ten three years running, and though she’s slipped a little since last year, Megan Fox is still mixing it with the big guns – she’s a bona fide Hollywood sex symbol for our times.
She may have had a run of bad luck when it comes to box-office winners, but with upcoming roles in The Dictator – Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest chuckle-fest – and This Is Forty – the can’t-miss newie from comedy super-producer Judd Apatow – it looks like Fox’s career will be un-wonkying itself soon.
6. Katy Perry
She’s got Jessica Rabbit’s body and Betty Boop’s face – was she specifically drawn to tantalise mankind by some sexy cartoonist in the heavens? Who cares? She’s single again!
Yes, while simultaneously kicking the cack out of all other wannabe popstrels in the charts, Katy Perry – last year’s number two – got herself divorced from lanky yoga-mop Russell Brand, allowing us to crank up our sexual-fantasy machines once again.
She’s so famous, and so sexy that she’s getting her very own 3D movie this summer. Does anyone know how much it costs to hire a cinema for a one-person private screening?
5. Georgia Salpa
Few people knew who Georgia Salpa was when she followed Hollywood legend Michael Madsen and yelping skidmark Frankie Cocozza into the Big Brother house.
But within 30 minutes, every man in the country was besotted by her natural curves and sexy Irish accent. You’ll doubtless have noticed that Miss Salpa graces the current issue of FHM.
Well, watch this space, because you’re likely to be seeing a whole lot more of Georgia on our magazine and website pages in the very near future.
4. Rosie Jones
Having sent the nation’s pulses racing with her criminally curvaceous shoot in last month’s FHM, Rosie Jones has firmly ensconced herself as the nation’s favourite Girl Next Door, evicting all other Girls Next Door like some sexy, scantily-clad bailiff.
Rosie is double hot – simultaneously cute and sultry – and, perhaps even more importantly, she holds the Guinness World Record for the most amount of bras taken off and put back on in one minute. Seven, if you must know. What we’d have given to be the independent adjudicator on that one.
3. Rihanna
Rihanna hasn’t just redefined R&B for the 21st century, she’s also redefined what it means to have enough clothes on.
The flawless Barbadian beauty and her whiplash-inducing curves have been omnipresent in pop for over half a decade now, and she just keeps on getting bigger.
It used to be that a woman this stunning, hanging around in public in just her knickers, would make the world stop turning; Rihanna does it so often that we’re worried that the universe itself may implode if she stops. Rihanna – please don’t stop.
2. Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole, the lady whose heart-quickening good looks saw her take this crown in both 2009 and 2010, confidently saunters in at number two, despite the fact she doesn’t sit next to Simon Cowell any more.
Why? Because the World’s Fittest Cheryl is the perfect sex symbol for the modern British man – a quite confused modern British man who looks at pictures like these and asks himself, “What the hell was Ashley Cole thinking!?”
Rumour has it that there will be a Girls Aloud reunion tour very soon, plus Chez-Co has another solo record all ready to roll. We always loved you, Cheryl – we never forgot.
1. Tulisa Contostavlos
Boom! We have our winner! Tulisa Contostavlos elbows her way straight to the top of the chart after a rollercoaster year.
As well as being the only one in N-Dubz whose laundry you’d want to do, she also rescued The X Factor from being a total no-fun zone for men following Chezza Cole’s exit.
With her debut solo album about to ‘drop’ in the next few months and a second turn in an X Factor judge’s chair lined up (following her triumphant mentoring of 2011 winners Little Mix), Tulisa is at the absolute top of her game.
And to top it off, you lot have gone and crowned her the World’s Sexiest Woman. Gentlemen, please raise a glass for the undisputed girl of the moment!
