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 ↴
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
That break-up we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you 'cause I want you back, hey-hey
I spent the evening with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learning so much
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit and sugar this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey-hey
I sat here starin' at the same old wall
Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you would still be mine, hey-hey
I can't go cheatin' honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss, hey-hey
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit and sugar this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey-hey
Oh, lovin' lover, this is solid love
And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
All through the day and all through the night
I'll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey-hey
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit and sugar this one is it
We both are so excited
