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 ↴
She hit it out of the park before it'd even begun
I needed sunshine in the darkness burning out
Well now I know that I'm the fuel and she's the spark
We are bound to each other's hearts, cold, torn, and pulled apart
This love is like wildfire
And to my word now I'll be true, I can't stop this breaking loose
This love, is like wildfire"This love, is like wildfire
Try describing a love you can't design More and more,
every inch of me is holding on This is it all the flames are burning strong
We are bound to each other's hearts, cold, torn and pulled apart
This love is like wildfire And to my word now I'll be true I can't stop this breaking loose This love is like wildfire Like wildfire Like wildfire You think you know all about it then it seems you are wrong She hit it out of the park before it'd even begun Ohh We are bound to each other's hearts Cold, torn and pulled apart This love, is like wildfire And to my word now I'll be true I can't stop this breaking loose this love is like wildfire Like wildfire Like wildfire Like wildfire
