Various Artists is a term used in the music industry to describe recordings where multiple musicians or bands are featured together. Singles under this label are often collaborative works created for charity, sometimes gathering well-known artists under a single project name, such as the Band Aid collective that recorded Do They Know It's Christmas? for famine relief. Albums attributed to Various Artists are typically compilation albums, bringing together tracks from different performers, either focused on a music label, genre, era, or theme, and also include soundtracks and tribute albums where artists contribute cover versions to honor another musician or group.
