There are probably some ancient cities (like Ancient Rome) that grew to quite a large size of around 1 million, but Detroit I assume is the only city to ever lose over 1 million people.

Chicago would maybe join it in the 2020 census if it loses about 100,000 residents. The US Census Bureau has estimated that the City of Chicago has grown slightly from the 2010 census, but the estimates aren't always correct, especially with shrinking cities. Detroit is evidence of this when its 2009 population estimate was 822,000, only for the 2010 census to reveal a population 100,000 less than that.
How many people has Aleppo in Syria lost? They could be over a million.
