NEW YORK, Sept. 19 -- What is sexy? How do you define it? What exact combination of sex appeal, confidence, beauty, class and attitude are needed to make it? VH1 has voted Madonna as the sexiest artist of Rock and Roll. Whether she's provocatively posing for her SEX book or successfully combining motherhood and her career, Madonna still has that "Je ne sais quoi" that leaves us mesmerized.
Now, VH1 adds it all up and counts down music's "100 Sexiest Artists" in a new five-hour, five consecutive night special. Premiering Monday, September 23, each special airs at 10:00-11:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

From Elvis' pelvis to J.Lo's backside, pop stars have always been known for more than just their ability to carry a tune. In the tradition of VH1's hit "100 Greatest" specials, the "100 Sexiest Artists" celebrates the musicians who get us hot under the collar, featuring unforgettable video clips, film footage, photos and performances, plus exclusive new interviews with Bill Bellamy, Pat Benatar, Sandra Bernhard, Jolene Blalock, Mary J.

Produced in partnership with Us weekly magazine (which is on newsstands now and features Us's own take on sexy artists).
Among the highlights:
* LL Cool J on Jennifer Lopez: "Obviously, her derriere is, you know, affecting the world in a positive way."
* The Daily Show's Frank DeCaro on Robert Plant: "Robert Plant is the best reason for not wearing underwear."
* Celebrity Stylist David Evangelista: "They should just, you know, devote a channel to Madonna and her sexiness."
* The Man Show's Jimmy Kimmel on Olivia Newton-John: "Olivia Newton-John is really great looking. And I remember the 'Physical' video -- that was a big one for me as a youngster desperate for pornography."
* Comedienne Sandra Bernhard on Joan Jett: "She can kick ass. She's gorgeous."
v * Us Weekly editor Bonnie Fuller on Usher: "Usher emanates sex . . . absolutely emanates sex appeal"
* Actress/Comedienne Sarah Silverman on Britney Spears: "She does all the stripper moves and everything, but you get the sense that she really believes that she's just dancing."
* Actress Jolene Blalock (Enterprise) on Tina Turner: "Can I have those legs please? ... With those legs, those legs, stand her sex appeal."
* Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznick on Mick Jagger: "It's like as my grandmother would say, 'That guy's got no shame.' And I think that makes him sexy."
