The 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover has been leaked—and 20-year-old Kate Upton took the coveted spot for the second year in a row. SI was planning to reveal the cover Monday night on The Late Show With David Letterman, but it was spoiled by a blogger. We really doubt this will hurt the issue's sales, though.

Elle Macpherson has the most Swimsuit Editions at five; Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, and Kathy Ireland all have three.

Upton burst on the scene with last year's cover and has since been on the cover of GQ and featured in Vogue, which is unusual for a swimsuit model. And then, of course, there was the Cat Daddy video.

The 2013 cover is almost the opposite of 2012, which featured Upton in a barely there bikini on the beach. This year, she's in a parka in the snow. Which do you prefer? The new issue hits newsstands February 13.
