That jump of quality from LAV to TB is legendary!

LAV is still Madonna's most successfull album to date as proved by its CSPC score. TB is a close second.

Spoiler

 

True Blue was clearly the fastest seller out of both, up to 15,5 million by the end of 1987 while Like A Virgin, with two more years of sales, was on 13 million by the same time. By mid-1988 though Like A Virgin was already the one selling the most and started to slowly catch album sales of True Blue. Considering The Immaculate Collection shot down catalog sales of those two albums soon after, Like A Virgin never completed its come back in terms of original album sales, but did generate more sales to all subsequent compilations and is still her most appealing record as shown by both catalog digital sales and streaming results.

Both albums are legendary anw and top5 Madonna albums ever.
