Give your opinion of the top 10 skylines in the U.S. & top 10 in the world

These are just opinions, but should be based on objective quantitative facts . Consider the number of supertalls, and overall skyscrapers (perhaps over 400 or 500 feet, or maybe 150 meters).

Also give your opinion of the most beautiful, aesthetic and balanced skylines. Here, the beauty and balance of the skyscraper arrangement, mix of old and new buildings, architectural significance of buildings, and geographic setting can count more than the number of skyscrapers. Here you can be more subjective, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder. On this beauty list, smaller skylines can shine. But in some cases, the top skyline in numbers can also be on you "beauty" list, or not. For example, NYC is in the top 10 in numbers, but how about beauty? Some might say no. Some might put Hong Kong on both numbers and beauty lists. I would. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle, San Francisco, Montreal and Cincinnati won't make the top 10 in numbers, but might rank high in beauty. Etc. Don't just pump your home city unless you truly believe it belongs on the list(s).
