Well, she must have hurt her own career in the process as ARTPOP has outsold Ultraviolence in EVERY country and has even outsold Born to Die, her highly promoted debut in many regions.
But Lana went on to sell 7 million+ in albums and 12 million singles world wide after that. So, how exactly did SNL destroy her?

In addition to that, Lana's albums are more acclaimed. I don't see why people think sales = quality music. Of course Gaga is going to sell more if her (mainstream) career started before Lana's and she has a bigger fan base
You guys acting like Lana chose not to promote her album when the truth is no one wants to book her because no one knows who she is and it would be a waste of time and money.
you can stop with all that "let's drag Lana's success!!!1".
She isn't about that. She wants to put out great music, not desperately try to trick people into buying trash music or anything like that. She isn't about gimmicks.
The question in this thread is not about that. Please stay on topic.
But you're not staying on topic. THE IRONY.
So again,
No, gimmicks like So Legit and songs like F**Ked My Way To The Top had no effect on Gaga's career.

She hasn't.
ARTPOP didn't outsell BTD in any country besides Japan. Stop right there.
Also UV is at 1.2 million.
Some of y'all, including the OP should get awy from your computer. As if some of you are waiting for this kind of BS.
this OP what is he even talking about he doesnt care about commercial success but is talking about gagas career decline i guess you dont care when it comes to your fave
And yet Cheek To Cheek snatched that Grammy nom, ARTPOP sold more than UV WW, and C2C is about to outsell UV in the US. Y'all can have your lil' Metacritic score.
Katy Perry is also up for Best Pop VOCAL Album.
If you think the Grammys mean a damn thing these days, you're mistaken. I'll take quality and critical acclaim over a popularity contest any day.
I wouldn't call a 5 million selling debut album a flop or a second album that went #1 in 13 countries bad. Lana's career/music will only get better, like a good wine. I can't say the same for Stefani.
Ultraviolence wouldn't even match BTD's sales if it was sold on 5 planets, let alone just Earth
If that's your idea of "get better" then Ms. Lana better do something quick!!!
If you think the Grammys mean a damn thing these days, you're mistaken. I'll take quality and critical acclaim over a popularity contest any day.
Then take that quality and acclaim along with your low ass sales and stop being in threads with titles like "Did Lana Destroy Gaga" because that clearly has nothing to do with quality.
Cringe.
Y'all can have your lil' Metacritic score. 
Is that what y'all are going with?
