Even if it there was a spire that pushed it to 1,775 ft, there's an easy solution to make it the tallest if it was indeed the case. All one has to do is climb the tower during a lightning storm that is windy. Make sure the sacrificial person is at least 3 ft tall. The "spire" martyr would than get struck by lightning, become a cindered and burned carbon corpse. Now... the reason why it has to be windy is so the cindered carbon corpse dries quickly, fusing the legs to the top of the spire. And there you have it, a perfectly applicable CTBUH architectural element that classifies as a spire extension, and pushes this to the first spot.
