New Years Ball Drops (1976-2011) 

2000 was the biggest year among these. The end of The 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st century.

You could definitely tell when Dick Clark's health was failing after he returned from that one-year sabbatical following his stroke. It was heartbreaking. But it also prompted me to watch my health closely, as diabetes and cancer both run in my family.

2008 was a big year for me, It was the first Balldrop I ever watched!

Without Dick Clark its not the same...

Why am I'm crying so much the years have literally flew by

Happy birthday December Capricorns, my 12/31/1980🥰🥰🥰

watching the ball drop for each year in this video just brings happiness to me. everyone's happy to have a new start in their lives, and the love they spread to each other is very touching and let's you feel joy (: Happy New Year everyone! :D

I was born in 1967 and remember watching almost all of these. Some years they actually did "instant replays" one minute later. RIP Guy Lombardo and Dick Clark.

I was born 1/1/82, two hours later when the party was still rockin' ;)

Happy New Year,everybody! Its the last day of 2012! When,you're watching NYE w/ Ryan Seacrest tonight,if you all were alive in DC's life,remember it all. RIP DC 11/30/1929 to 4/18/2012. Also,if your not watching NYRE,reflect on this year,including Superstorm Sandy (i was in it!) I lost power from late Monday afternoon,then got it back late Friday night. One of my uncles got power the day right after the hurricane. After Sandy,i got a BIG blizzard,which was Athena. Anyway,Happy New Year 2013!

14:54 just looks so amazing. Compare that to the darkness of the earlier new years. We have come so far.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm here to watch the progression of camera quality for each year.

2013 the year I was born, Ball Drop is the year!

..1984..great year.. the karate kid,, gremlins, footlose,, the terminator, beverly hills cop, ghost busters,

It's crazy how the years went by, and 2022 is almost here, I remember watching these on TV.

I remember the ball went dark for a minute before either 1980 or 1981, it was for the American hostages in Iran. They were released a few weeks later after Reagan took office, 444 days in captivity. I can't believe that "Big Apple" ball was little over 30 years ago, I remember that also.

2000 was the most important because it was the start of the new millennium and the end to the most historic millennium in history

RIP Dick Clark, Thank you for bringing my New Years with you!!!

wow, my favorite memories are with Dick Clark!! So amazing how much he was part of our family!! year after year!! RIP

I was born in 2000 too, but im still 12 until October 20th.

The first ball drop I've ever seen was back on New Year's Eve 1996.

10:34 They don't even know what is about to happen... so sorry New York City :(

It really sounds like every year, Dick is finding ways to beat his post-stroke voice, because he always sounds better every year.

THANK YOU....That was mega -cool.....i hope the world has many, many , many more new years to come....it was fun looking back...im 53 i remember almost all of those....very nice

Thank You For Making This

My daughter accidentally answered this on my google account. So let me answer... I was born in 69. I watched the ball drop every year. She was born in 02. She's young. Lol. Dick Clark WAS New Year to us in the 70's. :D

Believe it or not the first time I ever heard Auld Lang Syne was after reaching Chimney Rock on the Oregon Trail game.

OMG this is so great!!!!!!!!! I love love LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I just love watching all the great and happy times of the past!!!! Please don't get rid of this video ever!!!!!!!!

1983 was the first year i was able to stay up and watch it

1980s technology was getting better

I love that music plays like this year

On December 31, 2003, my best friends Kien and Jaavon spend the night at my apartment. We also watched the ball drop on television in the living room.

October 1995 baby ;)

2012!!!! And were alive !

I was born in 1995. my first clear memory is seeing Princess Diana's crashed mercedes benz on tv in 1997

Oh wow i thought it would go up to 2021 but i remembered this video is from 10 years ago

yes they are coz this video was uploaded 2011 and its yet to be updated.

1992 is here i watched it today.

Born in October 7 1989

I feel bad for all these kids who were born in 2000. Early 90's, those were the days. By early 90's I mean 1990-93...

I'd like an updated version of this... 10/10 Epic

I think I’m the newest comment. Today is November 23, 2020. Happy thanksgiving all! Can’t wait for 2021! Also, Hello people from the future.

all those years gone by... wow time flies...

Anyone else watching on a New Year's Day? (This was edited)

I think its interesting seeing time square change over time.. :p freakin Giuliani :p

I wasn't born at the time when they did the 19's

Less than a week until 2012!!!!!

I was born in May of 1975 so I have seen all the New Years from 1976! Seeing this clip is like my whole life flashing infront of me. LOL!

11:11 Somebody was born -3-

I love seeing the evolution of Times Square through all this footage. Place used to be a real dump in the 70s and into the 80s.

who would of thought 2001 wouldnt be a happy new year

At least we start a new decade now.

It's cool to see 1977 come in. That's the year I was born ♡

happy 1996

13:30-13:30 I was born right before the New Year’s countdown I was born in 2008 my sister was born in 2007

There needs to be a new version of this for 2020.

1995 was the best! I remember !

My goodness I completely forgot that when I was a kid it was an apple that dropped some years! Some of these seem like not so long ago, time flies too fast.

First one I remember is 2004 lol and I was 8 haha.

I was born 1995 crazy how years pass by like nun

Looks like 1998 literally started on fire.

I miss 2000 to 2005

The video came out in March 2011, two months after the 2011 Ball Drop.

The two things which stand out in this collection: ONE - How much less the crowd was into it when comparing the changeover to 2001 and 2002, thanks to September 11th. TWO - Dick Clark being in full spirits with the changeover to 2004. Of course, he suffered his stroke that year, which was why Regis Philbin filled in for him.

2000 = BEST.

one of my things to do on my wishlist when I grow up

2002,2010,and 2011 were the best

2011 is a good year

This deserves a remake

My dad was born in 1975 and my mom was born in 1976, and my sister was born in 2004 and I was born in 2007.

10:30 its just sad that this would be the last year of 7 buildings and 2977 lives.

14:45 is my baby brother's favorite.

Happy New Year's Eve from El Monte, California!!!!!

Every new year was good until 2006!

:( R.I.P. Dick Clark 1929-2012

@RobloxMaster642 im sorry for your loss. Lost my grandma in '07

2:46 The man said: six, five, four, three, one, one. HAPPY NEW YEAR

15 years old to 51 years

2:04 the year when Italy won its third world cup 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹😍

Wow I hope tonight is great . I'm headed to times square in a bit

It isn’t the same without Dick Clark. He was a classic person back then hosting Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve. The last time I watched Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve was in 2013. That year, Ryan Seacrest and the other people were so much different than Dick Clark and made me very sad. Now, I watch a different TV Channel that does coverage on the Ball Drop. But I will always remember Dick Clark doing the countdown for every Ball Drop and makes me very sad he isn’t with us anymore.

i was born in 92' ..but it wasn't uploaded =/

Seeing 35 years pass. I was negative 23 years old in 1976. I was 11 1/2 on 2011. Currently in 2014 I'm 14 1/2.

Simply .....Awesome!

With each passing year the behavior of the "adults" becomes more and more juvenile.

I was born in May 10th 1974

*I was born in 1984 and the first ball drop I can remember was 1990*

May 26 1998 Wish I were born in the 80's

Is it just me, or does New York 2002 New Years feel a little melancholic...

I was laughing so hard at this part! 9:14 - 9:23 I realized the clock said 12:00:00 when it was still 1998!

Gone by so fast!

unique... and amazing..

I think it was an apple since New York City is referred to as "the big apple" :)

Wow... "Getting ready for New Years 1976' hard to believe that was new to them. But then again, soon, we'll all be saying "Remember 2012?"

My oldest sister was born in 1987 then came along my second sister who was born in 1988 & then my parents had my twin sisters in 1991 & then me in 2001 then came along my niece in 2003, my second niece in 2008 then my nephew in 2009 then my niece again in 2010 & my other niece in 2011 then have 3 more after that lol :D

Jesus every body goes crazy.

I wish i was there in 1999

wow!! the years go by so fast!! now its 2013

They left out 12/31/91 going into '92.

Dick Clark always kissed his wife.. So adorable.. RIP
