While I tried to leave sources on each 'History Edits', I figured it would be easier to leave my research notes here for anyone to look over. If you spot a mistake or have newer info, feel free to drop a message. I'll update this as I go along.

Use Ctrl+F to find a specific song and the relevant sources, or go chronologically below.

LAUNCH SONGS:

- DAMN THE PRICE OF GAS
- 4CHORDS
- CHANCES ARE
- EVERYTHING YOU NEVER KNEW
- FRANKENSTEIN
- HORSESHOES AND HANDGRENADES
- SHOOTING STARS
- ANGEL WINGS
- DARKNESS
- FLYING FOREVER
- LOVE THROUGH THE NIGHT (later changed spelling to 'LOVE THRU THE NIGHT')
- FUNKY NUGGET
- I CAN BE
- LACUNA
- WHIPLASH
- ROCKET LEAGUE MAIN THEME
- WEIRDO
- HIGH FIVES
- BRUCE WILLY
- SUPERSONIC ACROBATIC ROCKET-POWERED BATTLE-CARS THEME
All the above are confirmed via the in-game credits, captured here in PS4 in Sept 2015.

- IN MY DREAMS
- WE SPEAK CHINESE
The 2 songs above do not appear in the credits, but are confirmed to also be launch songs due to their inclusion in the Official Soundtrack which was released on the same release date as the game.

POST-RELEASE SONGS:

- FIREWORKS
Confirmed to be a post-release song via Mike Ault stating all songs in the OST Vol 2 are Post-Release.
Source: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news...lable-tomorrow

Band's Official YT posted the song on Jul 29 2015.
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSFVuMT77eg

Confirmed to have been added as the first Main Menu song to play in Patch v1.04 released on Aug 11 2015.
Source 1: https://rocketleague.fandom.com/wiki/Music
Source 2: https://rocketleague.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_v1.04

This French gaming site published at the time a new song called Fireworks would release in August for Supersonic Fury DLC. This was in Patch v1.04, and rules out the possibility of it releasing in the earlier Patch v1.03 that released in July 31.

In addition to this paid content, other features will appear with the DLC, but this time for free:

A new map, Utopia Coliseum.
More than 70 new flags.
Spectator mode.
Improvements to goal explosions and other demolitions.
A new song: Firework by the band Hollywood Principle.

Patch v1.04 is the earliest known patch to have introduced music, but could also have been added in Patch v1.05 released in Sept 8 2015. There are no mentions or news posts about a Throwback Anthem until the Single release in Sept 18 2015. The next patch release is Oct 13 2015 in Patch v1.06

I've only played Rocket League a little and I'm not familiar with its music, but I always love to see dedication to researching and preserving the details! Especially with live service games often adding more music over time, and it becomes difficult to find what specific version each track was added in - which can be frustrating when researching someone's work history.

(btw, Enja uses she/they)

Oh whoops, I’ve corrected myself. I never really thought about it and only went by the profile pic.

Ye! I’m lucky that the developers actually preserved a lot of their history over the years and didn’t delete old patch notes or news posts. It’s still a bit of treasure hunting and detective work as not everything is in the same place, but I’ve made more progress than I was originally expecting to have when I first started. It’ll be interesting to see it once it’s finished, especially for anybody who wants to try and build a ‘complete’ soundtrack of the series.

Alright, I believe I'm finished and that's everything counted for. That's over 400+ songs from the last 10 years all catalogued.

I've also updated every release page so it looks cleaner now on Artist profiles and doesn't look cluttered, and tracked down and added all event-specific music and in-game shop anthems to relevant seasons, as well as adding the full credit images up to the point they stopped updating it when it went F2P.

Season 20 has also just started, and there's already new music added. I'm gonna try to keep adding new music as they come out, but for anyone who's interested, feel free to add anything I may have missed out in here so I or someone else can add it.
