Short answer
Best Sellers Rank (BSR) is Amazon's ranking of a product's recent sales velocity relative to other products in the same category. A lower number indicates stronger recent sales. It is updated frequently and weighted toward recent activity, so sellers use it as a rough indicator of demand rather than a precise sales figure.
