 LAP was a ballad the same way "Irreplaceable" is.
 
 I'm talking about ACTUAL ballads... She's done typical ass ones, but I guess it's the name that sold those records and not actually the song.

 I think it's because no one was making ballads LIKE Madonna. Like for example a ballad by Whitney Houston is incredibly different from a ballad by Madonna.
And she really won over a lot of the GP during "Like A Virgin." She just became a huge superstar from that and a few of the singles from the album.
