Along with crafting perfect hooks, displaying incredible vocal skill and letting the world in on your personality, a pop star's sex appeal can help elevate them above their peers. You voted for your favorite seductive stars, and the results are in!

With more than 600,000 votes cast, Adam Lambert was named Music's Sexiest Man, earning 26% of the vote! Standing alongside the former "American Idol" and recent Billboard 200 chart-topper was the princess of pop, Britney Spears, who netted an overwhelming 45% to be named Music's Sexiest Woman.

Next up on the list of sexiest men was Adam Levine (12%), Justin Bieber (10%), and Enrique Iglesias (9.75%). Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz made the top 10 without even being on the original ballot, and a write-in entry, Jo Calderone, would have placed in the top 10 were in not for the fact that Jo is actually Lady Gaga's alter ego and therefore doesn't qualify for sexiest man. See who else made the list of Music's Sexiest Men in our gallery below.

The ladies in line behind Britney were Lady Gaga, with 12% of the vote, and Beyonce, with 8%. See

What the hell, Britney Nr 1 and Adam? What is wrong with people... Beyonce, Rihanna or J.LO should have been higher up and top 3. As for the men, Bruno, Enrique and usher. How the hell is lady gaga Nr 2?!?!?!?

yeah really! I thought Adam Levine would have garnered the top spot. Lambert is cute but he's just too cosmetized to be taken seriously as a sexy man in 2012.

I can't even believe Nicki Minaj scored a 1.85. WTF!!!

How uninteresting.

It so obvious gay men were the main people who voted

if that's the case, wouldn't Beyonce have been #1 in the female category? She's slipping. First Rhianna is about to break a Billboard record and now they are naming Shitney Spears as sexiest woman?

Britney's got a big gay fanbase for some reason
