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.

The lyrics to the song "Uh Huh" by Various Artists is about a guy (Lil Fizz) who enters into a relationship with a girl without her knowing his true intentions. The girl lets Lil Fizz in, not knowing he was using her to get to her friend. When the girl discovered the truth, she spoke to Lil Fizz and told him that her friend was looking for someone like him. Lil Fizz then hooked up with the girl's friend and decided to come clean about his intentions. In the end, he tells his girl that he wants her and that he will treat her right. The song sounds like a cautionary tale to women, warning them to beware of guys with bad intentions.
The song "Uh Huh" was performed by B2K and co-written and produced by R. Kelly. It was released in May 2002, and its music video was directed by Chris Stokes. The song is R&B and hip hop-influenced and features a strong bassline and catchy chorus. The lyrics are suggestive but not overly explicit, making it accessible to a wide audience. The song was a hit, peaking at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
