The 28-song album was available for purchase in seven vinyl variants, three CD variants, a cassette tape and three download album variants.

Thania Garcia Florida-born trap-soul rapper Rod Wave has scored his third No. 1 album in a row with his latest, fifth studio LP “Nostalgia.” His entrance pushes Olivia Rodrigo’s newly-released “Guts” out of the summit by a couple thousand units sold.

Rod Wave, the Florida artist who brought the R&B/rap offshoot known as pain music to the top of the charts and sold out crowds everywhere, is back with another single from his upcoming third studio album Beautiful Mind. After dropping "Cold December," "By Your Side," and "Stone Rolling," Wave returns with another new song called "Alone," a fitting title if you've spent even a snippet's length of time with his music.

Rod Wave has become a massive star with his brand of pain music: melodic, R&B-influenced rap that lays bare the trauma of the hustle. His ascent from the streets of Florida to sold-out shows with enraptured audiences is unlikely, and no one's more aware of that than Wave himself, a feeling he explores in his new song "Stone Rolling." Over a morose beat driven by a gentle guitar melody, Wave writes from a place where his dreams of traveling the world have been fulfilled.
