It's that time of year again, as Maxim magazine is all set to unveil their rundown of the hottest ladies spanning the globe via the 2012 Hot 100 List.

Taking over the crown from last year's top spot holder (which was Rosie Huntington Whiteley), the men's publication has doted the #1 ranking to another supermodel - this time picking the lovely Bar Refaeli.

Commenting on the lofty compliment, the 26-year-old Israeli stunner appreciatively said, "I am shocked that among all these beautiful ladies, I'm number one. Thank you so much for voting for me! I'm truly honored. This is the title I will never forget."

Falling just behind Bar are a pair of gorgeous brunette actresses, with "Magic Mike" babe Olivia Munn nabbing runner-up honors while "Black Swan" beauty Mila Kunis comes in at the number three spot.

The top ten is rounded out by Katy Perry, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki, respectively.

For the complete rundown of the remaining ninety gals comprising the 2012 Hot 100 List along with plenty of sure-to-be sizzling pics, grab a copy of the soon-to-be released special issue of Maxim!
