This year's fireworks soundtrack has been created by Usher and will reflect his diverse taste and sensibilities, including everything from pop and soul to country and electronic dance music. The music can be heard on 1010 WINS. The night's line-up will include performances by Mariah Carey, Tim McGraw and Nick Cannon. If you're not in the area, NBC will broadcast the fireworks live beginning at 9 p.m. EST.
