Wrapped in Red, Kelly Clarkson's first Christmas album, is being released until October 29th, but RCA has confirmed they are
shipping 500,000 copies for pre-orders to Amazon and Target. Kelly is shaping up to be the Christmas Queen with a Gold album before it's even released.

But the label has "Wrapped in Red" pegged as the one that will cross all formats and become a new holiday classic, boosted by Clarkson's NBC holiday special, "Kelly Clarkson's (Cautionary) Christmas Tale," in early December. "It's our main release this season," RCA VP of marketing Aaron Borns says. "The angle on this album is that, like all great Christmas records, it's about amazing vocal performances. That's what this is intended to be-an album launched this year but timeless and genre-defying."

Sorry not sorry Leona and company

For RCA, the album is part of an all-out holiday assault during which the label will release not just Wrapped in Red but also the soundtracks to "Black Nativity," starring Jennifer Hudson, and "The Best Man Holiday," which features R. Kelly, Fantasia and Mario, and a Leona Lewis collection that puts a Motown spin on Christmas songs.
