I would say they hold equal popularity, in terms of how often they are performed in concerts.
Both are young works, composed within a year of each other. The first to be completed was the F minor Concerto (Marked as No 2). This was started in 1829 at the age of 19 and was not completed until March of 1830.
Chopin had by then started a second Piano concerto, in E Minor.
Due to problems with manuscripts and errors on behalf of the publishers, the 2nd, E Minor Concerto was published out of chronological order as No 1.
It follows that when the F Minor concerto was ready to be published, it became the 2nd Piano Concerto, even though it was composed first.
There was apparently no effort to change the status quo and so this numbering remains, confusingly, to this day!
So, what we know as the Piano Concerto No 1 in E minor Opus 11, was composed after what we know as the Piano Concerto No 2 in F Minor Opus 22.
Both are very beautiful works and both have much to recommend them.

What is the name of Beethoven's concerto no 5?
Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 is more commonly known as the Emperor Concerto. The nickname of the concerto was not given by Beethoven, it was given by one Johann Baptist Cramer, a famous pianist who was from the same generation as Beethoven.
What are the most famous piano concertos?
The "Big Three"Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #2Beethoven Piano Concerto #5Grieg Piano ConcertoHonorable MentionTchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1Beethoven Piano Concerto #4Chopin Piano Concerto #1The major beauties of the concertos for the piano, in my opinion, are the two Chopin concertos. Beethoven's concerto number 5 "emperor" is also very nice.Grieg's piano concerto in a minor is possibly the most famous piano concerto.All of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos are famous, especially number 2, third movement.Gershwin's piano concerto, although not very known, is one of the most "fun" piano concertos to play, since it has sort of a jazzy sound. Mendelssohn piano concerto in g minor is very very very very famous. My point is that possibly the most famous piano concertos are Grieg, Rachmaninoff, and maybe Mendelssohn.Another opinionI agree with the other answers, but I would argue that Beethoven's Emperor (Piano Concerto #5) is probably the most famous. Chopin's First Piano Concerto (Piano Concerto #1) is also very gorgeous. His second isn't as good as the first, but is also very nice. Mozart's Piano Concertos are also rather well liked. However, of all composers I think that Beethoven's have received the most praise. I've always thought that Chopin's deserved more than it got, but most favorites seem to be more romantic in style than Mozart's. That doesn't mean they were bad, but the piano's full performance potential wasn't met until later in its development. It was the center piece instrument of the romantic period and most of its more popular pieces came from this time. Other examples of favorite piano concertos of this time are Tchaikovsky's as well as Mendelssohn's. (see: Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schuman, etc)******Another opinionMendelssohn the composer is very famous, however his G minor Piano Concerto is not at all famous. I am a professional pianist and I have never heard it. Ever!! Unless you mean Saint-Saens? His G minor Concerto was once very well known, though you don't hear it as much these days. (Similarly now gone out of fashion are Rubinstein's D minor and the Scherzo from Litolff's 4th Concerto, but at different times they were also popular.)Beethoven's Piano Concerto no.2 in B flat Minor does not exist, sorry.Also Brahms 1st Concerto is in D minor not C major.There is no Schubert Piano Concerto.Back in the real world, surely the most famous and recognisable concertos are Tchaikovsky no.1, Grieg, and Rachmaninoff 2. There are plenty more piano concertos though. Also often heard are Schumann, Liszt 1, Mozart D minor, Beethoven 5 as noted above, slow movement of Mozart no.21 (sometimes called "Elvira Madigan" after a film in which it was used). Beethoven has the most consistently popular concertos (out of a total of 5 - not including the piano version of his Violin Concerto, known as no.6). Rachmaninoff's No.3 is well-known by reputation though not so much for the music. The two Chopin Concertos are well known (also mentioned above), especially the slow movement of the F minor one. There are still more - why not find one to listen to?I would second the preceding entry. The most popular by far are the Tchaikovsky #1, the Rachmaninoff #2 and the Grieg A minor.

What were Mozart's concertos called?
The list is rather long, and includes Piano Concerto No.s 1-27, Concerto for Two Violins, Violin Concerto No.s 1-5, Flute Concerto No.s 1 & 2, and many more. See related links for a more comprehensive list.
