In marketing, it's what's known as "accessing the target market." In writing, it's called "making broad generalizations."

Regardless of which way you look at it, we've got good news for all you super-eager "Twilight" fans out there: On Thursday (October 16), Atlantic Records confirmed to MTV News that Hot Topic -- the nation's leading mall-bound purveyors of all things gothic -- would be hosting exclusive listening parties of the [article id="1596357"]"Twilight" soundtrack[/article].

The parties will take place at all Hot Topic locations on October 24 at 7 p.m. sharp. Fans will be able to hear the entire soundtrack -- which contains new songs from [article id="1595214"]Paramore[/article] and [article id="1595993"]Perry Farrell[/article], plus tracks from Linkin Park, Muse and a host of others -- and preorder the album, too.

In addition, all listening-party preorders come with a mysterious "special gift" (available while they last), and partygoers will also be given a 10 percent discount on any purchases made during the event (which means you can finally get your hands on that gigantic pair of Tripp Orange Stitched Strap Pants you've been wanting!).

The "Twilight" soundtrack will hit stores November 4, just 17 days before the movie is due in theaters. The first single off the album is Paramore's [article id="1596057"]"Decode,"[/article] which made its world premiere in early October on author Stephenie Meyer's Web site. Earlier this week, Paramore shot a video for the song with director Shane Drake, and videos from the set -- taken by frontwoman (and avowed "Twilight" fanatic) Hayley Williams -- can currently be seen on Paramore's official Web site.
