Various Artists is a term used in the music industry for releases that feature tracks by several different musicians or bands. This label often appears on compilation albums, charity singles, soundtracks, and tribute albums. For shorter releases, such as singles, it can refer to charity projects where multiple artists come together, sometimes under a temporary group name—an example is Band Aid, formed to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia with the song Do They Know It's Christmas. For longer albums, Various Artists typically indicates a collection representing a certain music label, genre, time period, or theme, as seen in popular compilation series like Absolute from EVA Records. Tribute albums honoring specific artists or bands, where different musicians contribute cover versions, are also released under this label.
