Last week that song lost over -100 spins(about a third of its airplay) and fell off the Hot AC chart. Now it has a +144 bullet all of a sudden. Anyone know what's going on?

Another strange thing going on is that over 80%, probably 90% of its spins are from overnight rotation. Of the 17 stations giving it 7x+ last week, over half of this song's spins (and usually much, much more) on 14 stations came from overnight rotation. Also, KFBZ/Wichita, KSRK/Portland, WPTE/Norfolk, WTSS/Buffalo, and WKZN New Orleans all had it at 20-26 spins last week--exclusively in overnight rotation!
That being said, a better question would be why did any station add this in the first place. I cannot hate it because I've only heard it twice, but she sounds like she's having a seizure all over her guitar, and she yells out crap like "I'M INDEPENDENT/I'M CALIFORNIA/MY HEART'S ON OVERDRIVE." I mean, this song makes "Complicated" look intelligent. This should be under the definition of "truly horrible" in every dictionary.
