World's Tallest Buildings

These are the tallest skyscrapers in the world as of May 2011.

Buildings are ordered by official height.  This ordering method deals only with a building's roof height or spire height, whichever is greater, and doesn't take antenna heights into consideration.  This method makes the Petronas Towers appear taller than the Sears Tower.
