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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you look around
The whole world's coming together now yeah
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it?
Feel it in the air
The wind is taking it everywhere, yeah
All the brothers of the world should be
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes it's alright, take my message to your brother
And tell him twice, uh huh
Spread the word who tried to teach the man who is hatin' his brother
When hate won't do
'Cause we're all the same
Yes the blood inside of me is inside of you c'mon
Now tell me!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it?
Can you see what's going down, you can fill it in your bones
Every breath you take
Is someone's death in another place yeah
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child yeah
But the stars do shine
And promising salvation is near this time, yeah, yeah
Can you feel it now?
So brothers and sisters shall we know how
