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.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...
Chillin in my four point six at the light
Shorty in the drop top V made a right
Pull up to her bumper baby, beeped twice
Jumped out the whip like I was the police
Didn't have a gun, but my wrist said freeze
Got Friday on a dvd
She's a baller and I'm a baller
Wha-what?
1 - To all my hot girls
Livin' fiesta
To all my hot boys
Livin' fiesta
To all my Chi town n****s
Fiesta
And all my uptown n****s
Fiesta
To all my players and my hustlers
Fiesta
And if you sittin' on them blades
Fiesta
To all my honeys in the club
Fiesta
And if you rollin' with a thug
Fiesta
We be off in the club sippin lot
Red eye deep in the club puffin' Lye
Strippers in the back of the club showing live
Soon as I get a buzz I'm showing out
House on top of the hill
Counting what?
Whose gonna buy the bar?
Got enough
Take the haters out in the back, rough 'em up
I'm a baller now where's my ballers?
Wha-what?
Repeat 1
We pop Cris on a daily base
Plus we got honeys all up in the place
Bout to wild out in a major way
So put your hands up if you made your pay
Add a little juice to the Tangaray
But let the ice show till the diamond fades
Rockland sittin' on Capitol Hill
Trackmaster make capital deals
[Gotti]
Now look at Gotti iced out with the blingy-bling
And a big body sittin' on them gleamy things
Now Rockland n****s know the means of cream
Kelly, R&B Thug and it sings to king
Got pj n****s in caprime green
(Thugged out)
Hot chicks down to do anything
Cop them mo chicks
Cop mo bricks, pop mo Cris
Ay Kelly drop mo hits
[Boo]
What you know about them cats
That be spendin' the dough
Every day drink Henney and a bottle of Mo'
Ride whips, hittin' chicks
Blowin' twenties on drough
To the club thirty deep
Plenty of ice to show
Mami say she never rolled in a six before
(Fiesta)
Never seen a young cat this rich before
Yeah Kelly made the way for these n****s to blow
Thugged out, 2G, Rockland for sure

Chillin in my four point six at the light
I was cruising in my car, waiting at the traffic light
Bout to be vip for the night
I was about to be treated like a VIP at the club that night
Shorty in the drop top V made a right
A beautiful girl drove a sports car past me, turning right
Pull up to her bumper baby, beeped twice
I drove up closer to her car and beeped twice to get her attention
Jumped out the whip like I was the police
I got out of my car so quickly that it seemed like I was a police officer
Didn't have a gun, but my wrist said freeze
Even though I did not have a gun, the bling on my wrist was enough to attract attention and make people freeze

This is a celebration of everyone who is living their best life, whether they are men, women, from Chicago or uptown, hustlers, or club-goers with fancy cars
We be off in the club sippin lot
We were at the club drinking a lot
Red eye deep in the club puffin' Lye
We were smoking marijuana in the club
Strippers in the back of the club showing live
Some strippers were dancing in the back of the club, putting on a great show
Soon as I get a buzz I'm showing out
Once I start feeling the effects of alcohol, I start showing off my wealth and success
House on top of the hill
I have a big, fancy house on top of a hill
Counting what?
This is a rhetorical question, implying that I am rich and have lots of money to count
Whose gonna buy the bar?
Got enough
I have enough money to buy the entire bar
Take the haters out in the back, rough 'em up
I am willing to physically fight with anyone who is jealous of my success
I'm a baller now where's my ballers?
I am rich and successful, and I am looking for others who are also successful

Bout to wild out in a major way
I am about to have a lot of fun and do crazy things
So put your hands up if you made your pay
If you have made a lot of money, put your hands up and celebrate!
Add a little juice to the Tangaray
I add some juice to my Tanqueray gin to make a tasty drink
But let the ice show till the diamond fades
I am showing off my expensive jewelry until the diamonds dull over time

I am from Rockland and I am successful, like someone sitting on Capitol Hill

Ay Kelly drop mo hits
Kelly is releasing more hit songs

Blowin' twenties on drough
We drink Hennessy and Moet champagne daily, drive fancy cars, date attractive women, and smoke expensive marijuana
To the club thirty deep
Plenty of ice to show
We go to the club with thirty people and lots of expensive jewelry
Mami say she never rolled in a six before
(Fiesta)
A woman I am with has never ridden in a fancy car before
Never seen a young cat this rich before
Yeah Kelly made the way for these n****s to blow
She has never met a young, rich person like me before, and Kelly is partly responsible for my success
Thugged out, 2G, Rockland for sure
We are tough, from the year 2000, and from Rockland area, without a doubt
