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.

季節は巡り 時は流れて
地球は廻る 目醒めない
悪夢の中に 僕を残して
"この声を届けたい!"
あの日交わした 約束がある
強い自分を取り戻す魔法の言葉なら
ここにある HERE IN MY HEART
変わらない夢を
失くしたりしないよ
HEY! LET'S GO OUT!
遥かな空よ 覚えてますか?
嬉しいときも 泣きたい夜も
思い返せば いつだって
僕の隣には君が居た
ふいに立ち止まったり
悩んだときは 頼って欲しい
まだ見えない未来に 怯えたくない
誰かの声に傷つきそうになるたびに
叫んでる HERE IN MY HEART
届けたい想い
伝えたい気持ちを信じて
漂う影に刻まれてゆく
銀河の星のように
廻り出した 蒼い運命の輪
始まる世界 ah ah…
誰の中にもある願い
誰かのためにある想い
(HEY! LET'S GO OUT! HEY!)
まだ 見えない未来に 怯えたくない
誰かの声に傷つくなんて 馬鹿げてる!
止まらない HERE IN MY HEART
答えはないけど
信じたい 自分のことを
まだ知らない世界で
君を守れる
強い自分を取り戻す魔法の言葉なら
ここにある HERE IN MY HEART
変わらない夢を
失くしたりしないよ
HEY! LET'S GO OUT!
心の地図が示した WAY OUT
真っ直ぐな道じゃつまんない
冷たいこの世界を壊して
逢いにゆく LET'S GO OUT
