The asker did not specify a composer, but I'm going to assume that he/she meant Mozart, as he is the only composer still famous today to have written so many piano concerti.

He wrote his twenty-first, like most of his piano concerti, for himself to perform. It was written in the space of only four weeks, immediately following the premiere of his great D minor concerto, the twentieth--the two are one of his many pairs of great works of antithetical temperaments, something Mozart seemed to enjoy challenging himself to do.

What Chopin Piano Concerto is more famous 1 or 2?

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.
