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 Prรถfrock, 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.

Saudades da รบltima etapa da minha infรขncia. Mesmo na qualidade de moleque eu curti demais este grande clรกssico que estourou nas paradas de sucesso entre os anos de 1977 e 1978. Falo diretamente daqui da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Ahhh, the best sounding one in music. You can't beat three gifted sisters. Maurice White knew what he was doing when he wanted their sound. It's devastating.
@RockAndGrohlMe
I'm in awe of this perfect song...thanks for keeping the groove going even longer!
@addamcarroll2395
Most definitely better with the extended version 3 min was not enough time for this song and once again thanks for the remix
@buhle7651
I just remembered this song and I immediately looked for DJ DiscoCat's version, the absolute best โคโคโค
@Studiofunlv
