Can netflix pull off stuff like this that can't be done on broadcast because of certain rules, or did they just have a big enough budget to account for such songs?

Usually those songs come bundled together in catalogs. So if Netflix purchased rights to a catalog for Series A, chances are it ponied up a bit more and secured rights to use them in Series B, C, so on. No one really licenses individual songs.

Whats more, Netflix has some of the deepest pockets in Silicon Valley, and thats :realtalk.
