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.

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie doon
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant ye little birds
And i sae weary full o' care?
Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds
That wanton through the flowery thorn
Ye 'mind me o' departed joys
Departed never to return
Oft hae i roved by bonnie doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang o' its love
And fondly sae did i o' mine
Wi' lightsome heart i pulled a rose
Full sweet upon its thorny tree
And my false lover stole my rose
But ah she left the thorn wi' me

Fun Fact, When Napoleon heard this song he remarked it was "The prettiest English he had ever heard" upon being corrected and told it was a Scots song he replied he thought it sounded "Too pretty to be English"

If Rabbie Burns could come back and listen to this interpretation of his song he would be so happy, over 200 years since he wrote the song, Burns is still the heart and soul of Scotland, a true legend, ... Thank you Holly for singing a beautiful reminder to Burns.x

Hello Holly
All the best on Robert Burns’ birthday 😊 As always I’ll raise a glass to your stunning rendition of Banks and Braes. I can’t believe how many years have passed since I first heard your beautiful tribute to Burns and it has only grown sweeter over the years. I wish you “ilka joy and treasure”
