What is being measured here? How is Cosmere #2 in Fall 2025, was that even out? According to a quick search it released Mid-November, so at best it barely made it in

Well, if it was released mid-quarter, and still made #2. then it apparently had very strong sales.

Doesn't iCV2 measure sales in actual stores - or do I misremember that?

Depends on when your Fall and Winter quarters are… would the KS backers count towards that, kinda like preorders? If so, it is not much of a surprise, without that it very much is (to me at least)

I don't think KS backers count. They get direct deliveries, and are not sold via stores. I agree though, if the KS backers would figure into this, it's no surprise.
