A group called Anna's Archive has saved a lot of music from Spotify. They got 86 million songs, which is almost all the music people listen to on Spotify. They also got information about 256 million songs.
The group wants to keep music safe for the future. They say this is the biggest collection of music information ever made public.
Spotify was not happy about this. They stopped the accounts that took the music and are trying to protect their songs better.
The group found out some interesting things. The top three songs on Spotify have more plays than the bottom 20-100 million songs all together!
