People has the Sexiest Man Alive title, VH1 and Maxim do the Hot 100 list of sexy stars, but Black women are rarely featured on either of those lists.

So, TV One and Tatyana Ali (remember her as Ashley Banks on "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?") will air a countdown show called Countdown: The 16 Sexiest Black Women Alive on Saturday, July 6, Hip Hop Crunch is reporting.

Halle Berry will top the list (surprise, surprise) while Tyra Banks and Paula Patton also get honors.

“The women selected as our 16 sexiest black women aren’t just pretty faces. Each one of them is uniquely talented, strong-minded and self-assured,” says Monique Chenault, Senior Producer, "TV One Access."

To see who else gets the title, you'll have to tune in this summer.
