Yeah. They did God Bless The USA for the 2002-03 and 2003-04 ball drops. Another song was used for 2004-05 I forget what it was. They did Imagine since 2005-06. Then in 2010-11 they started doing it live.

2004 one of my favorite years. Spider-Man 2 came out. One of my favorite movies. Ken Jennings was on a 74 game winning streak. Almost 20 years ago!
I remember that 74 game streak.
The year of Spiderman 2 & Halo 2 along w/ Harry Potter. Man. What a great time for entertainment that was. Here's to new great times! 🥂 2024 & beyond.

2004 is the first year when playing
Frank Sinatra New York New York song and still playing his song every year
They actually played it when they rang in 2002, but they also replayed Auld Lang Syne over it, so they were overlapping.
It is also the first year that the Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians' rendition of New Year's Eve was used and it currently is today.
