I think St. Louis may edge out only on name recognition. Is it growing or booming? I don’t think so but I think a lot of Americans even in New York State to North Carolina itself, live in areas more reminiscent of St. Louis than Charlotte. St. Louis, and its arch, represent pretty much most of the US outside of coastal states and even then - outside of blue metros, PA, NY, etc. seem more reflected in St Louis.

Charlotte probably edges out only on certain circumstances. If you live in NC or SC. If there’s some particular reason you have to know or travel to Charlotte more (employer, airline connections).

I think relying on growth rates or other superficial things are probably a bit irrelevant for most of America.

And this isn’t a bias against newer areas - there’s other newer booming cities that have sort of broke through over the decades. Portland, Seattle, Denver, Austin, Nashville come to mind. All started some cultural trend, have some stereotype, clothing, musics, etc. Austin and Nashville being the newer ones that probably come out over more legacy cities.

But Charlotte specifically - I don’t really know it’s anything other than growing. And I don’t know what separates its growth from any other high growth area.
