There's a plethora of Christmas songs that make artists a lot of money since they get played yearly but why isn't this the case with New Years?
U2 is the only one I can think of.

I can only think of a couple.
From The Waitresses. This was the b-side of the "Christmas Wrapping" single and a non-LP track to boot:
And this one is from Ian MacKaye's post-Minor Threat, pre-Fugazi band Embrace:

Nobody records new year songs because they'll only get played on 2 days of the year (NYE, NYD), whereas Christmas songs will get played for 6 weeks or so, so there is much more commercial appeal to an artist to record a Christmas song and not waste their time on a new year song.

BARRY MANILOW - It's Just Another New Year's Eve 1977
THE EAGLES - Funky New Year 1978
You have a point though, sort of like my observations about last Christmas.
Which I probably won't go into because Death Metal Bands would love to capitalize on some of those concepts.
That is if they knew what those concepts were.
