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.

Real Gone
Various Artists Lyrics

I'm American made, but I like Chevrolet
My mama taught me wrong from right
I was born in the south
Sometimes I have a big mouth,
When I see something I don't like

I gotta say it

Well we've been drivin' this road
For a mighty long time,

Paying no mind to the signs
Yeah well this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that team somewhere behind

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you were screamin'
It's a blast, blast, blast
Look out baby got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone, real gone

Real gone

There's a new kid in town,
He's got high painted friends
Thinks he's gonna change history
You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But he's just another perpetuatin' prophecy

C'mon now

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you were screamin'
It's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone
Real gone
Real gone
Real gone

Uh

Well you can say what you want,
But you can't say it round here,
'Cause they'll catch you and
Give you a whippin'
Well I believe I was right
When I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now did ya?

Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby you were screamin'
It's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone
Well here I come
And I'm so not scared
Got my pedal to the metal
Got my hands in the air
Look out, take your blinders off
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone
Real gone
Real gone

Oh
Real Gone
Real Gone
