According to Montana's state government's Census and Economic Information Center (see http://ceic.mt.gov/MtByNumb.asp ) the population of Billings (the city) was 103,994 as of the US census 2008 estimate (summer of 2008). The same estimate for Missoula was 68,202. The same source also shows estimates putting population growth for Montana at a slight decline between 2008 and 2010, but that's less than 1%, so the likelihood of a change large enough to upset Billings' advantage of more than 50% is vanishingly small.

Just looking at the wikipedia entry on Montana, it says:

"According to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the population of the most populous metropolitan/micropolitan areas are:

Billings 152,005, Missoula 107,320, Bozeman 89,824, Kalispell 88,473, Great Falls 82,026, Helena 72,180, Butte 32,803."

So in 2008, Billings was the most populous city in Montana - not sure if that's true in 2010 but a good chance that it is.

Wikipedia is not usually considered an authoritative source, plus, in this case your answer provided the population in the metro area of Billings, not the city which is what the asker referred to. While Billings is indeed the city with the largest population, the numbers you provide are not the ones that prove it.
