woolworth is no longer in the top 100. it used to be, but all these new skyscrapers have squeezed it past 100 already.
you can find it in the 101-200 rankings poll.

Every building in the top 512 deserves to be studied and to be honoured.

This ranking is only for the 100 tallest buildings.
The Swiss Re can be found in the "Other skyscrapers section" - Europe and Africa

Right. Just be happy in knowing that if the Swiss Re were tall enough to be on the list, it would be way up there in the rankings.
