Various Artists refers to a term used in the music industry to identify recordings that feature multiple musicians or bands. This label is often found on compilation albums, soundtracks, or charity singles. On some occasions, well-known artists join together under a collective name for special projects, such as Band Aid’s charitable single for famine relief. Compilation albums under Various Artists usually gather tracks by different performers from a specific genre, label, or era, and can also include tribute albums where different artists cover songs by a particular musician or group.
