Question: When was the US state having the American Idol contestant performing a Fuel song on this season added to the union?

Since the show's inception in 2002, ten of the fourteen Idol winners, including its first five, have come from the Southern United States. A large number of other notable finalists during the series' run have also hailed from the American South, including Clay Aiken, Kellie Pickler, and Chris Daughtry, who are all from North Carolina. In 2012, an analysis of the 131 contestants who have appeared in the finals of all seasons of the show up to that point found that 48% have some connection to the Southern United States. <SEP> in what was to become a tradition, clarkson performed the coronation song during the finale, and released the song immediately after the season ended. the single, "a moment like this", went on to break a 38-year-old record held by the beatles for the biggest leap to number one on the billboard hot 100. guarini did not release any song immediately after the show and remains the only runner-up not to do so. both clarkson and guarini made a musical film, from justin to kelly, which was released in 2003 but was widely panned. clarkson has since become the most successful idol contestant internationally, with worldwide album sales of more than 23 million. <SEP> Chris Daughtry's performance of Fuel's "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" on the show was widely praised and led to an invitation to join the band as Fuel's new lead singer, an invitation he declined. His performance of Live's version of "I Walk the Line" was well received by the judges but later criticized in some quarters for not crediting the arrangement to Live. He was eliminated at the top four in a shocking result. <SEP> State of North Carolina Flag Seal Nickname (s): Old North State; Tar Heel State Motto (s): Esse quam videri: ``To be, rather than to seem ''(official); First in Flight: First in Freedom Official language English Spoken languages As of 2000 English 90.70% Spanish 6.18% Demonym North Carolinian (official); Tar Heel (colloquial) Capital Raleigh Largest city Charlotte Largest metro Charlotte metro area Area Ranked 28th Total 53,819 sq mi (139,390 km) Width 170 miles (261 km) Length 560 miles (901 km)% water 9.5 Latitude 33 ° 50 ′ N to 36 ° 35 ′ N Longitude 75 ° 28 ′ W to 84 ° 19 ′ W Population Ranked 9th Total 10,146,788 (2016 est.)
