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 ↴
Somewhere you've never been
Make a wish and the dream in you grows
Shinning as bright as them
Carrying you far away
The story begins with the light in your heart
A fantasy dream and a spark
The princess inside you will show
You are the glow, you are the glow
Look around take in all that you see
You just might be surprised
A world of enchantment and pure majesty
You'll be discovering
The princess that you're meant to be
The story begins with the light in your heart
A fantasy dream and a spark
Once you believe you are ready to shine
Bright as the world's ever known
You are the glow
Feel your strength, you can face the world
Believe every day, everything is possible
A magical journey awaits
The story begins with the light in your heart
A fantasy dream and a spark
Once you believe you are ready to shine
The princess inside you will show
You are the glow, you are the glow
