174

174, in the context of Arianators, refers to the number of sales (in thousands) that Ariana Grande's "Positions" debuted with on the Billboard 200 chart. The album's sales went below initial expectations, hence, this number is often a meme or source of mockery when it shows up in any statistics related to her.

Arianator 1: Santa Tell Me re-enters the US Spotify charts at #174.
Arianator 2: NOT THAT NUMBER AGAIN...
