On Tuesday February 10th, the 2009 edition of Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands. And we’re so stoked we’ve even tried to predict who the cover model will be! Since first being published in 1964, the Swimsuit Issue is where the world’s most beautiful babes show off all their best assets. But now, we’ve narrowed down the list to the top 47 models ever to grace the glossy pages to give you the best of the best. So, without further adieu, The 47 Sexiest SI Swimsuit Models of All-Time.

With the 2008 Victoria’s Secret’s fashion show coming up on December 3rd, there’s been talk about Victoria’s Secret and models everywhere these days. From past Victoria’s Secret fashion show galleries to mystery models to the 20 Hottest Models of All Time – these lovely ladies are obviously the sexiest ticket out there. But since most of the VS models have also appeared in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition it begs the question, which publication (catalogues are publications, kinda) makes these smokin’ hotties look the best? Luckily for you, we’ve already put the two head to head so you can decide for yourself.
