> * Spotify - 58MB

Maybe for one of the processes, but on Windows Spotify needs at least three processes usually to run (five if you count the Web Helper and Crash Service which are probably native code). On my machine the three main Spotify.exe processes take up at least 170MB of RAM, often more. Although I wasn't aware they were using Electron as their app has a standard, native Windows menu bar.
