These charts are presented by or featuring the artists and not representative of what the artist wants to play as i'm sure Bauer, MTV etc have already decided the playlist. You find this as when Bauer or MTV both have 'X Artists Party Playlist' and the other has 'X Artists Party Tunes', they tend to be totally different.
I remember Girls Aloud thinking 'Toxic' was the greatest pop tune ever a few years back on Bauer and at the same time they had a similar chart on MTV and it wasn't even in their top 10.
And not every artist is going to think the same artists are brilliant. All artists appear to think Beyonce, Swift, Katy Perry, Rihanna etc are amazing, when in reality The channels, the artists management, record label and agents are agreeing ot it whilst ensuring the artist gets more playtime from the channel. Happened recently with Alesha Dixon. Heat don't play current tracks, but they played Alesha all the time after she fronted a couple of shows for them and now they've started showing Rita/Chris Brown, so I imagine Rita Ora must have appeared on a Bauer programme recently.
Sadly, appearances aren't innocent and as you well know, the charts manufactured.
As AcerBen's link pointed out the other day, 15 of the top 40 had streams over a certain percentage of their sales and we could probably guess at least 10-12 of them.

On A Ragga Tip was a surprise to me seeing it on a Bauer channel - why can't they do this more often, I would watch things like that even old skool rnb of the 90's (if I know it), but again missing a trick completely here (no matter the genre)
I'll also add they played Inner City - Good Life (original) was hoping to see the late 90's version (which I rarely see) but I missed out numbers 17-20, I thought it was a bit refreshing to see on 4Music but I wondered why they never stuck it on earlier but then again I forgot they have the tat on before

Not sure i've seen that on MTV Dance.
Always surprised when Bauer play something different.
Not likely something 4Music will repeat too often. Instead they'll repeat Alesha Party Faves or an extra showing od PArty Down South.
