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.

(it's you're turn now kid)
Bad boy
[Chorus]
I want a woman that's down for me
I want a woman that'll take care of my body
I want a woman that'll wash my hair
Someone who's always there
I want a woman that'll show me things
Someone to fullfil my dreams
Settle down wit be my queen
she's the only one for me
Yo ebony complexion, came in my direction
Eyes made connection, body was perfection
And got a smile that will light you're life up
She make a thug put the guns and knives up
Defenitly the type of chick you wife up
Tennis skirts and nike up, throwin the bike up
1100 ducatti, ain't as fine as her body
don't believe me, should have been at the party
you can tell wheter not was her hobby
The way niggas act, you would think j.lo in the lobby
Or, maybe beyonce maybe ashanti
The way i feel ma i need a fiance
The type of love that will last foreva
Not a chick that's around just for half my cheddar
want to play want to laugh together
Even flash together, and girl you can get the cash wheneva (yeah)
[Chorus]
I want a woman that's down for me (oh yes i do)

In manilla, they call me young marcus I'm heartless
But baby girl I'm on a whole notha plateau
After i taste you i'll hit from the back slow

Foot massage body rub with the oil

And i was lucky to find a woman that's loyal

[Chorus]
I want a woman that's down for me (oh yes i do)
I want a woman that'll take care of my body (my body)
I want a woman that'll wash my hair (wash my hair)
Someone who's always there (and i'll wash urs to)

The way that you used to hold me might have moled me
To the man that you see in the flesh

Feelings I'm feel inside like the day that i hugged her
Open up the door, i help her out with the bags
Car get dirty, i help her out the jag
Folks get flirty, i help em out with the mag

Something i gotta have, its nothing for me to choose
