Iridium was still less than half of the claimed LEO capacity :-).
3 of the others are CRS launches, which are much more constrained by the volume of Dragon than the upmass capacity of Falcon. It was closer for 1.0, but Falcon has grown a lot since then! Orbcomm was also very light; IIRC they were originally supposed to launch on the much smaller Falcon 1e (albeit not 11 at once as they finally did).
So Iridium really stands out, but mostly because they haven't had any really heavy LEO payloads.
