that’s crazy, i am skeptical of the legality here: i believe they are legally required to disclose when content is paid.

(i work in advertising and we would never be allowed to introduce sponsored content into an organic stream like this without labeling)

The link they provided is the disclosure. You'd be surprised to find out this is the business model of the radio for years and why most radio stations that need profits only play recent songs, and usually the same songs over and over until new ones that are pushed by labels come out.
