The Used have announced a listening party for their upcoming album, Artwork. The plan is to allow people to listen to the record in exchange for one tweet on the release date, September 1, 2009.

Fans can enter this party by turning their social Twitter updates into digital currency – essentially purchasing a ticket to the event with one tweet by tweeting the suggested message “You can listen to the new @wearetheused album #Artwork today for 24 hours only at http://twitter.theused.net. ONE TWEET GETS YOU IN.”

As “trending topics” on Twitter become more popular, this kind of promotion is likely to become more popular, but this is one of the first times a band has done this particular type of deal.
