DMX's chart topping record has come to an end as his sixth album failed to take the top spot on the Billboard 200 in its first week on sale, marking the rapper's only major label album not to debut at the top spot.The rapper, born Earl Simmons, released "Year of the Dog, Again" last week, which was beaten to the top spot by the compilation album "Now! That's What I Call Music 22," which sold 127,000 copies in the last week. Simmons was just 1,000 copes short of 1st place, selling 126,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.Last week's chart topper, LeToya's self-titled album, fell to number 5 after selling another 65,000 copies, pushing Gnarls Barkley's "St. Elsewhere" to 7 in its 13th week on the chart, which sold 53,000 copies.Pharrell Williams' Interscope solo debut "In My Mind" dropped to 9, selling 51,000 units.
