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 ↴
a phrase it's written on your face.
It's rain against the window pain.
The sounds it makes, it's dreamin the day away
It's the shine of a precious pearl
light of the world, the sound of our baby girl.
It's finding a moment for a thought so pure.
It's walking along the shore.
cuz i dont know when i will feel it again
I've become amused by the little things,
second of pleasure
[Chorus]
Seconds of pleaseure, lifes little treasures
Seconds of pleaseure, lifes little treasures
Oooh, girl it's small talk
a touch so soft, it's watching you walk.
It's the taste of a sour pop- a lemon drop.
It's the last one in the box.
It's a kiss in the mornin' sun.
A few minuets of fun, before you have to run.
It's all the little things that you've done, to ease
my burden, and my confusion.
I hold onto the feelings,
cuz i dont know when i will feel it again
I've become amused by the little things,
second of pleasure
[Chorus] ×3
