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.

Enamorada
De ti
It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives we can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
(In my mind)
I'd live a thousand lives each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
(Ooh)
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
(Chance)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ahh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart)
Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
(Never be)
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
(Ooh)
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
(You're about)
A deeper love I've found in you and I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
(Ooh)
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid
(Afraid)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ahh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be
(Oooh ooh ooh)
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ohh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real, oh yea)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Oh yea)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No, no)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart, oh yea)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Funny)
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Even if you try)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Ohh, Oh
(Baby, ain't it funny how?)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Change your life)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Wrong or right)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Baby, ain't it funny how?)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Can't deny)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Though you try)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Baby)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right

(Ohh, Ohh)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?

Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
