'The Hunger Games' Complete Soundtrack List Released

This article contains a complete list of the Hunger Games soundtrack, which is set to be released on Tuesday, March 20. There is a lot of anticipation for this soundtrack which features country/pop superstar Taylor Swift and indie-rock giant Arcade Fire. The Hunger Games is clearly taking somewhat of Twilight approach to its selection for artists on the soundtrack in terms of choosing alternative/indie bands such as Arcade Fire and The Decemberists, as well as indie folk groups such as The Civil Wars and The Low Anthem. These indie bands gave the album that cool "hipster" edge and folk bands definitely fit in with rural, woodsy tone of District 12. However, where the Hunger Games soundtrack departs from the Twilight method is that it includes a wide variety of artists to appeal to different tastes. Definitely a smart strategy considering the mass appeal of the book. Foe example, the album includes Taylor Swift to appeal to the mainstream teenage girl demo, Miranda Lambert to appeal to country fans, and Kid Cudi to appeal to hip hop fans.
