100 U.S. and Candadian cities sorted by year that the tallest skyscraper was built

I was a bit bored and wanted to see this a bit clearer.

For future buildings I only counted U/C projects and not proposals.
Cities in bold have buildings over 200M
The list is a bit Texas-biased as I am from Texas. If you see anything missing, let me know I can add or alter it.

Some interesting observations can defiantly be made.

Some of the largest gaps in recent years of cities getting tallests, 3 years from 2004 to 2007 and 4 years from 1998 to 2002. We are also looking at a 2 year gap for 2015 and 2016.

Some long streaks as well, 15 years between 80 and 95 where several cities got their current new tallest, and the whole of the 1970's.

Some interesting cities as well, Chicago is 76th on the list, but Trump came close. The top four in the next few are all major U.S. cities
