U.S. State Capitals by Urban Area Population

You might already be familiar with the state capitals by their city proper population, but can you name the capitals in order of their urban area population?
Populations are from the 2020 U.S. Census.
Annapolis is given for you since it's part of the Baltimore urban area apparently.
