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 ↴
'Till school comes along just to end it,
So the annual problem for our generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it
Like maybe...
Building a rocket, or fighting a mummy,
Or climbing up the Eiffel tower,
Discovering something that doesn't exist,
Surfing tidal waves, creating nano-bots,
Or locating Frankenstein's brain,
Finding a Dodo bird, painting a continent,
Or driving our sister insane
This could possibly be the best day ever,
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better,
So make every minute count jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
Crossing the tundra or building a roller coaster.
Skiing down a mountain of beans,
Devising a system for remembering everything,
Or synchronizing submarines, racing chariots,
Taming tiger sharks, constructing a portal to mars,
Building a time machine, stretching a rubber tree, or wailing away on guitars,
This could possibly be the best day ever,
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better,
So make every minute count to one,
Jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
Let's put our heads together and design a master plan,
We may miss dinner, but I know mom will understand...
We got our mission and suppliers, purple gumballs and desires,
A pocket full of rubber bands, the manual on handstands,
A unicycle compass, and a camera that wont focus,
And canteen full of soda, grab a beach towel here we go! (this is Ferb-tastic)
This could possibly be the best day ever,
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better,
So make every minute count to one, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
(Seriously this is gonna be great day)
This could possibly be the best day ever (Today's Gonna be a Great Day)
This could possibly be the best day ever (Today's Gonna be a Great Day)
