Most aren't nearly as entertaining as this. Jimmy Fallon's had a few good moments but was too schticky. Michael Buble's was pretty good.

But the rest of them, including the Grand Old Opry and the Rockefeller Center tree lighting, seem like promos for the record companies or music agencies (sort of like how the Super Bowl has become). They are so, so boring!
