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.

Honey, you're always looking so lovely,
Don't you ever let go of me,
Cause I will surely lose my mind
mhmm
I will kiss you to let your lips know my love is true,
But I've just gotta let you know that,
[chorus:]
You drive me completely crazy,
Completely crazy,
Completely crazy for my sunset lover tonight,
You know how far I'm about to go,
Give me a boat and I will row your beauty to the
Moon, if that's okay with you,
I hope you don't mind if I get lost inside your eyes,
Please excuse me if I don't imply,
But I've just gotta let you know that,
[chorus:]
You drive me completely crazy,
Completely crazy,
Completely crazy for my sunset lover tonight,
Sunset lover like stupid carrot-top,
sit and thinking wide-awake and barely blinking
What have we been drinking?
It's time to take it to the next step,
Well, sweet, quiet kisses for my sunset lover tonight,
[whistles]

You drive me completely,
You drive me completely crazy,

Completely crazy for my sunset lover tonight,
