Syncing Issue with iTunes

[hector-09]

I am a premium user and use Spotify as my main source of music. I have only a handful of Apsp on my iPhone but when trying to sync my phone to my iTunes just now it says I am at capacity due to the # of apps I have (which is false). I am wondering if it is the SIZE of the apps that is the issue? If I have a little over 1,000 on my Spotify app on my phone, is that pushing me over the limit for my data storage?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
