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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
′Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin′, jumpin'
Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain′t gon′ stop
Last weekend you stayed at home alone and lonely
Couldn′t find your man, he was chillin' with his homies
This weekend you′re going out
If he try to to stop you, you're goin′ off
You got your hair done and your nails done too
A new outfit and your Fendi shoes
And when you're through parlayin' at the hottest spot
Tonight you′re gonna find the fellas
Rollin′ in the Lexus, drops and Hummers
Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain′t gon' stop
So let′s make it hot, hot
Ladies leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown

Cut her off 'cause she talk some noise
You know you got the right to get your party on
So get your haircut and your car washed too
Lookin′ like a star in your Armani suit
You need to look your best 'cause you′re turnin' heads tonight
You're gonna find a sexy chica that′s gonna dance all night
