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.

[One Direction:]
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid

[Ed Sheeran:]
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

[Rita Ora:]
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

[Sam Smith:]
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

[Paloma Faith:]
But say a prayer and pray for the other ones

[Emeli Sandé:]
At Christmas time it's hard but while you're having fun

[Guy Garvey:]
There's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear

[Dan Smith:]
Where a kiss of love can kill you

[Angelique Kidjo:]
Where there's death in every tear

[Chris Martin:]
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

[Bono:]
Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you

[Seal:]
Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa

[Ellie Goulding:]
A song of hope where there's no hope tonight

[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Why is comfort to be feared, why is to touch to be scared?

[Bono:]
How can they know it's Christmas time at all?

[One Direction:]
Here's to you

[Olly Murs:]
Raise a glass to everyone

[Bastille:]
Here's to them

[Sam Smith:]
And all there is to come

[Rita Ora:]
Can they know it's Christmas time at all?

[All:]
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

As they always will be. Africa is a long way from being developed. Even with America, EU and China pumping tons and tons of money into infrastructure and other aid in Africa, it is simply not enough.
And it will never be enough. The difficult truth is that no matter how hard we try to build Africa with money and without it (doctors without borders, voluntary schools...), we cant feed all the hungry people.
Africans need work, jobs. That way they could survive, but there is no work for everyone because there is so much people compared to development of infrastructure. For every new workplace created there are 3 new born Africans.
In 30 years Africa will have doubled it's population, DOUBLED!
And in 80 years it will have a population of around 4 billion!
Compared to 1.3 billion today.

All the while it is amlost imposiible to reach half of Africa, and those are the place most in need. Why? Because they are in the state of constant war, warlords, separatists, government forces...and it won't end soon.

I'm afraid all we can do is keep giving them money to survive and let them settle their differences, unless someone prefers a direct interevention - USA style.

Fun Facts about this video:
•The last time i saw Zayn together with One Direction
•Sam Smith still a straight guy
•Rita Ora still hasn't publicly disguised as bisexual
•Dan Smith/Bastille the day they became a big group in music industry (Pompeii)
•Ed Sheeran admits he really quit using social media
•Chris Martin (Coldplay's vocalist) still having a relationship with Dakota Johnson
and many more...
time goes way too fast but still listening to this since the day it was released & watching it for the first time in VeVo music
PS: i guess this is the best/theme song during pandemic (Corona Virus) & reminiscing those good days, damn i wanna go back from that time :(

Really comments shouldn't be enabled in videos like this. It's no place to criticize artists when they're actually giving their time to do something good. I bet most of us in the comments haven't done shit to stop ebola. These people were chosen to this video because they spread awareness, and that's a good thing.

Finally people who are on the same page as me, just watched the video again (Watched the premiere on X Factor, which I think is a fab way of getting youngsters to understand how bad Ebola is) and cried heh.
I've donated £5, bought the CD and single, only because I believe in this cause and I think like commonwhitegirl does.. It said at the end they have given up their time for free. Loved how Jessie Ware and Clean Bandit where in the video, Not enough lines to go around, but they stayed their all day (10am-8pm) and recorded the last few lines, that's dedication. (I also watched the whole thing when it was happening on Saturday 15th, stream + the live updates heh)

Jax Indabox I'm glad they updated the lyrics, the original was horrific, but to be fair it was written in the car on the way to the studio iirc. At the time Bob Geldof wasn't much interested in writing a hit, just getting a thing ppl could rally around to raise awareness and get donations.

Enjoy the god damn song and open your hearts to see the whole point of this beautiful video.

The comments here are absolutely disgusting. Just because more people die of Malaria, doesn't mean that the lives of Ebola patients are any less important. These patients are fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, uncles, aunts, grandparents. How would you feel if your relative had Ebola? Would you still discourage people from donating simply because it's less deadly than Malaria? At least these singers are doing SOMETHING to make the world a better place. Meanwhile, some of us are making snide remarks while hiding behind computer screens like cowards, doing absolutely nothing for society. Have we privileged human beings become that cold?

What the hell are you doing? Nothing. It doesn't matter if the cause is Ebola, or Malaria or whatever. People are suffering, and they need help. The people suffering from Ebola are just as human as the people suffering from Malaria. These artists get that and are trying to do something about it.You all haters aren't doing shit.
So just get the hell off of this video and keep your negativity the fuck away.

I'm running a small charity to help Ebola, I have friends who have been affected. So I am doing something.
1D and all the artist's here should not have lent their voices...but lent some of their money from their very full pockets....I mean, Rita Ora is performing like it's all Happy Joy Joy...acting in from of the Camera, Ollie Murs is dancing while people are withering away and dying from Ebola.
It's not hate, it's like....donate some actual money, this is done for publicity. Look a Bono, he's just doing it to be relevant again after his album flopped. Horrid.

Amazing how people can just decide for themselves that someone probably didn't donate and hate on them for that. And whether they're talented or not, good people or bad people, deserve their fame or not, doing this song will raise a lot of money for something good. Would you all really be happier if they didn't do this song and all that money it would have raised gets taken back away? ....and don't use the "donate instead" bullshit - whether or not they donate is a completely separate issue from whether or not they do this song.

@DerekLerrick

9y↑1

Simon Harding There's no need for name calling, don't be childish. Why have you called me that?
As I said above, I running a small charity, my sisters son is actually out there helping those effected by Ebola. We've raised 15k so far...
All I'm saying is the combined worth of everyone is that room is ridiculous. Bono alone is worth 600 million, he can spare a million to help. They should dig into their own, very full pockets to help, that's if they even care, They can put up (in seconds) twice the amount of money we worked hard to raise.
I'm pleased that you donated 10k, I donated too, I don't know why you called me a twat...
If me donating makes me a twat, then you donating makes you a twat.
