'I'm still dumbfounded on how iSYL got so many viewers. '

Multiple factors conspired all at once:

It was aired on a holiday weekend in January: it was promoted well for a month and so everyone knew Carly would kiss Freddie - so both major groups of shippers and curious casual viewers watched; and the show in general was at its peak popularity at the time. To illustrate the last point, iQuit iCarly aired around the same time frame - and it bagged nearly 10 million viewers despite having nothing to do with shipping.
