I had no idea, so I looked it up, but it wouldn't be fair to get
credit for the answer now.

Actually, in the case of the US the three largest cities are in the
same order by either method of ranking. Having already posted my
answers, I just looked them up, and 4th place is the first one that's
different. According to the lists at citypopulation.de, US metro
areas #1 through #10 correspond to cities #1, #2, #3, #9, #5, #4,
#24, #44, #40, and #22 in that order.
(That said, there are different ways to determine a metropolitan area
and it's possible that some sources would interpret the same raw data
differently.)
