Internationally, Dubai certainly wins this. So what's the point? In US it is less serious but the chances are if you have a skyline larger than your population base, it is very likely that you are over building, or your expectation of the city was too high in the past.
It's a silly debate. European powerhouses like Paris and London don't exactly have much in the way of towering modern skylines, does that detract from them? Not at all. Having said that, I pick Chicago. Considering it isn't a mega-city (though it's close) its skyline kicks mucho booty is bettered only by NYC and Hong Kong IMO.
Not 'perhaps'. Definitely. By far the smalles metro population for a city that has a full-sized skyline, and soon they are going to build the 'greenest building on Earth'. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11144/1148681-53.stm

Panama city, Panama. Redirect Notice
It has a metro of 1.2 million, half the population of Pittsburgh, yet has a skyline that could easily rival NYC. Other impressive skylines would be Columbus Ohio, Pittsburgh PA, Seattle, and Miami
Hi all from the future! just like to say that miami has officially beat out chicago, and took the # 2 spot!
