"No" by Meghan Trainor spun 94 times last week on 99.7 The Point?

I looked on All Access, and in Kansas City, the song "No" by Meghan Trainor was spun 94 times last week on KZPT 99.7 The Point, a Hot AC. That's way above the spin count of any other station (the next highest is 16). What do you think of this?
They obviously see something in the indicators they use to determine their categories (local callout, online testing, mScores, etc.) that leads them to believe it is a worthy power.
Programmers in PPM markets do not put a song in power, especially when that means 90+ spins/week, without good reason.
I'd also be curious when it was spun. Although I've not known Entercom to do it, some operators will spin songs in the overnights in a pay-for-play arrangement. So long as they mention it was paid, it's perfectly legal.
Seems like a few years ago, a Nashville station was spinning an Avril Levigne song three times an hour in the overnights in a pay-for-play deal.

The Avril song was promoting the current single. Typically that kind of promotion budget is only for the current hit.
"No" was released in March and peaked a couple months ago. "Me Too" is the current charted single.
From what I can see, her music usually gets strong airplay in Kansas City.
