 I don't know how pop radio is set up. I know it's a lot different from Gospel/Christina Radio (which I have worked in). 
We'd basically call and ask the station to play the song, sometimes we'd send free merch or have the artist interview in exchange for more plays... but I know on pop, a lot of spins for the day are predetermined and repeated throughout the day because labels bid on plays, then they have open request hours where they either take instant request or a buildup of votes from places like mediabase
Basically, for pop... and add means at least one play that day, which alone will be a big boost.
