Really? I thought it was quite popular amongst Americans due to The Sound of Music, which virtually no one knows around here.
The reality is that surprisingly few Americans in my experience know about Salzburg. This is especially true of younger Americans. The link to the Sound of Music movie is nice, but that movie is pretty old.
However, the few Americans I have met who have actually been to Salzburg have all given very positive reviews of the city.

I stayed in Salzburg for about ten days several years ago and had a blast! The salt mine tour was such a thrill, I kept climbing up the long set of stairs to slide back down over and over. Do you know the name of a nearby castle where one must walk up very steep terrain, zigzagging back and forth, where they have a Medieval entertainment factor along with the antiquities? There was also a birds of prey show in the courtyard - does any of this ring a bell?

Maybe it goes in cycles. Back in my 1970's backpacking days, word of mouth had *everyone* stopping at Salzburg.
These days it seems to be San Sebastian, Spain that all the young herd heads toward. I love San Sebastian, but the entire northern coast of Spain is wonderful, and affordable.
Only one or two cities on that list were unknown to me, but that's how it is with these things. Lyon, France or Split, Croatia are not exactly overlooked.
But that's okay, I like looking at the pretty pictures.
Why are you so focused on architecture anyway? Few cities in the world sell themselves solely on their architecture, nor does a city have to have very attractive or even iconic architecture to be worth visiting - just look at Berlin.
Besides, Manchester is very close to being the third city in Britain to have more than 1 million international visits annually (other two being London and Edinburgh).
Architecture is probably the main reason people visit Europe.
It's hilarious that they included Helsinki, Budapest, Porto, Innsbruck, Granada, Brno, Bergen and Rhodes Town on that list...
Helsinki and Brno don't seem that visited.
