Muse's 'The Resistance' has scooped the Best Art Vinyl Award 2009 for its artwork.  

The annual countdown, hosted by artvinyl.com, celebrates the best album artwork of the year and is voted for by public vote on their website.

An additional exhibition of the top 50 artworks was hosted at the Georges House Gallery in Kent up until Christmas Eve when voting closed.

Muse's album cover was designed by the London based design company La Boca and triumphed over Manic Street Preachers' 'Journal For Plague Lovers' in second place and Fever Ray's eponymous debut in third.

The full top ten is as follows:

1. Muse: 'The Resistance'
