Best Fourth of July Playlist Ever

When Macy’s asked America to choose the songs for the Fourth of July fireworks display this year, they didn’t start from scratch. They compiled a list of 50 patriotic, heartwarming and inspiring songs from a wide variety of musical genres. While not all of them made it into the show, you can use this master list, which Macy’s shared with the Daily News, to build an amazing playlist for your Fourth of July barbecue. To listen to the music the fireworks display is choreographed to, tune in to 1010 WINS AM or Fresh 102.7 FM at 9 p.m. — songs included in the show are starred.
