The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.

Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.

Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.

Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.

Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

A Surfer's Christmas List
Various Artists Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasys
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream
So here's my life-long wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need

[Chorus:]
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every one will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

[Verse 2:]
May kindness rule our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years gone by
This is the world I pray
We will all share someday
Help me begin by reaching out my hand

[Chorus:]
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every one will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

[Verse 3:]
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth

[Chorus:]
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every one will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

This is the year I hope you hear
This is my grown up Christmas list
Ooh......
Christmas list......
