'''Distilled water''' is [[water]] that has virtually all of its [[Impurity|impurities]] removed through [[distillation]]. Distillation involves [[boiling]] the water and re-condensing the [[steam]] into a clean container, leaving most contaminants behind.
This is a '''list of [[one-hit wonders in the United States]]''' whose one hit came out in the '''2000s'''.
==Applications==
It is important to note that this list contains artists who reached the top 40 of the U.S. pop chart ([[Billboard Hot 100]]) with just one single, and had two or less albums on the top 40 of the album chart ([[Billboard 200]]). Artists included here have released two or more singles in the United States.

In chemical and biological laboratories, as well as industry, cheaper alternatives such as [[deionized water]] are preferred over distilled water.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} However, if these alternatives are not sufficiently pure, distilled water is used. Where exceptionally high purity water is required, [[double distilled water]] is used.
Distilled water is also commonly used to top up [[lead acid batteries]] used in cars and trucks. The presence of other ions commonly found in tap water will cause a drastic reduction in its lifespan.
==Archetypal 2000s one-hit wonders==
These are recording artists who fit the classic [[archetype]] of a one-hit wonder (i.e. a musician or band that comes out of nowhere to have one big hit, then just as suddenly either quits, breaks up or fades back into obscurity).
Distilled water is preferable to tap water for use in automotive cooling systems. The minerals and ions typically found in tap water can be corrosive to internal engine components, and can cause a more rapid depletion of the anti-corrosion additives found in most [[antifreeze]] formulations.{{Fact|date=May 2007}}

Using distilled water in [[steam iron]]s for pressing clothes can help reduce mineral build-up and make the iron last longer. However, many iron manufacturers say that distilled water is no longer necessary in their irons.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
Some people use distilled water for household [[aquariums]] because it lacks the chemicals found in [[tap water]] supplies. It is important to supplement distilled water when using it for [[fishkeeping]]; it is too pure to sustain proper chemistry to support an aquarium ecosystem.{{Fact|date=May 2007}}
===One-hit wonders collaborating with popular artists===
Some artists have their sole hit in a collaboration with a popular artist:
==Drinking distilled water==
*"[[Addictive (2002 song)|Addictive]]" by [[Truth Hurts]] (featuring [[Rakim]], who is not a one-hit wonder)
{{Unreferencedsect|date=February 2007}}
*"[[Angel (Shaggy song)|Angel]]" by ([[Shaggy (artist)|Shaggy]] featuring) [[Rayvon]] (Shaggy is not a one-hit wonder)
Drinking distilled water is quite common.
*"Beware of the Boys (Mundian to Bach Ke)" by [[Panjabi MC]] (featuring [[Jay-Z]], who isn't a one-hit wonder)
*"Can't Let You Go" by ([[Fabolous]] featuring) [[Mike Shorey]] (and [[Lil' Mo]], who is not a one-hit wonder; Fabolous is not a one-hit wonder)
*"Girlfight" by [[Brooke Valentine]] (featuring [[Big Boi]] and [[Lil' Jon]], who are not one-hit wonders)
*"I Can't Take You Anywhere" by [[Scotty Emerick]] with [[Toby Keith]] (Toby is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[I Know You See It]]" by ([[Yung Joc]] featuring) [[Brandy "Ms. B." Hambrick]] (Young Joc is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[I Know What You Want]]" by ([[Busta Rhymes]] and [[Mariah Carey]] featuring) The [[Flipmode Squad]] (Rhymes and Carey are not one-hit wonders)
*"[[I Like That]]" by [[Houston (singer)|Houston]] (featuring [[Chingy]] and [[Nate Dogg]], who are not one-hit wonders, and [[I-20 (rapper)|I-20]], who is)
*"[[If I Could Go (Song)|If I Could Go!]]" by ([[Angie Martinez]] featuring [[Lil' Mo]] and) [[Sacario]] (Martinez and Lil' Mo are not one-hit wonders)
*"[[It Wasn't Me]]" ([[Shaggy (artist)|Shaggy]] featuring) [[Ricardo "Rikrok" Ducent]] (Shaggy isn't a one-hit wonder)
*"Never Scared" by [[Bone Crusher]] featuring [[Killer Mike]] (and [[T.I.]], who is not one-hit wonders)
*"Oochie Wally" by [[QB's Finest]] (featuring [[Nas]], who is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[Ride Wit Me]]" by ([[Nelly]] featuring) [[City Spud]] (Nelly is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[Rock Yo Hips]]" by [[Crime Mob]] (featuring [[Lil Scrappy]], who is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[Underneath It All]]" by ([[No Doubt]] featuring) [[Lady Saw]] (No Doubt is not a one-hit wonder)
*"[[We Takin Over]]" by [[DJ Khaled]] (featuring [[Akon]], [[T.I.]], [[Rick Ross (rapper)|Rick Ross]], [[Fat Joe]], [[Bryan Williams (businessman)|Birdman]], and [[Lil Wayne]], neither of which are one-hit wonders)
Many beverage manufacturers use distilled water to ensure a drink's purity and taste. Bottled distilled water is sold as well, and can usually be found in [[supermarkets]]. [[Water purification]], such as distillation, is especially important in regions where water resources or tap water is not suitable for ingesting without boiling or chemical treatment.
===One-hit wonders that don't fit the rule===
====More than one hit album====
Water filtration devices are common in many households. Most of these devices do not distill water, though there continues to be an increase in consumer-oriented [[water distiller]]s and reverse osmosis machines being sold and used. Municipal water supplies often add or have trace impurities at levels which are regulated to be safe for consumption. Much of these additional impurities, such as [[volatile organic compounds]], [[fluoride]], and an estimated 75,000+ other chemical compounds{{Fact|date=February 2007}} are not removed through conventional filtration; however, distillation does eliminate nearly all of these impurities.
Some artists are considered one-hit wonders despite having more than one hit single or album. This is when a band or artist has only one song that becomes hugely popular and/or generate massive media coverage.
*"Back Here" by [[BBMak]] (''[[Sooner or Later]]'' (#38) and ''[[Into Your Head]]'' (#25))
*"Gettin' Some" by [[Shawnna]] (''[[Worth Tha Weight]]'' (#22) and ''[[Block Music]]'' (#13))
*"Maybe I Deserve" by [[Tank (singer)|Tank]] (''Force of Nature'' (#7) and ''One Man'' (#20))
*"[[Miss Murder]]" by [[AFI (band)|AFI]] (''[[Sing The Sorrow]]'' (#5) and ''[[Decemberunderground]]'' (#1))
*"My Baby" by [[Lil' Romeo]] (''[[Lil' Romeo (album)|Lil' Romeo]]'' (#6) and ''[[Game Time]]'' (#33))
*"Po' Folks" by [[Nappy Roots]] featuring [[Anthony Hamilton (musician)|Anthony Hamilton]] (''[[Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz]]'', and ''[[Wooden Leather]]'' (#12))
*"[[Who I Am (Jessica Andrews song)|Who I Am]]" by [[Jessica Andrews]] (''[[Who I Am (album)|Who I Am]]'' (#22) and ''[[Now (Jessica Andrews album)|Now]]'' (#34))
Distilled water is also used as drinking water in arid seaside areas which do not have sufficient freshwater, by distilling seawater. It is quite common on ships, especially [[nuclear ship|nuclear powered ships]], which require a large supply of distilled water as coolant. The drinking water is produced in [[desalination plant]]s, although it is very expensive due to the large amount of fuel needed to boil water. Alternative technologies like [[reverse osmosis]] are becoming increasingly important in this regard due to their greatly reduced costs.
====Below Top 40====
Some artists' one popular song missed the Top 40.
*"Breathe (2 AM)" by [[Anna Nalick]] (#45)
*"Like Wow" by [[Leslie Carter]] (#99)
*"[[My Neck, My Back|My Neck, My Back (Lick It)]]" by [[Khia]] (#42)
*"Nothing Left To Lose" by [[Mat Kearney]] (#41)
===Pros and cons===
==Non-archetypal 2000s one-hit wonders==
The drinking of distilled water has been both advocated and discouraged for health reasons. The lack of naturally-occurring minerals in distilled water has raised some concerns.
===Artists with one hit that are not considered one-hit wonders===
Some artists with only one [[Top 40]] hit on the [[Billboard Hot 100]], while they may be considered one-hit wonders by the public at large, are not necessarily one-hit wonders because of their distinguished careers within their own respective musical genres long before and/or after their one mainstream hit:
*"Miss Murder" by [[AFI (band)|AFI]] (one of the leading artists of the San Fransisco Bay Area Hardcore scene of the 1990's. Have had other hits on rock specific charts)
*"Aaron's Party" (Come Get It) by [[Aaron Carter]] (launched an acting career and had other hits worldwide)
*"B.Y.O.B." by [[System of a Down]] (one of the biggest metal acts of the 2000's, including two #1 hits on the US Modern Rock chart. "B.Y.O.B." is still their only Top-40 hit)
*"[[Beautiful Soul (song)|Beautiful Soul]]" by [[Jesse McCartney]] (one of a successful teen idol)
*"[[Chasing Cars]]" by [[Snow Patrol]] (had other hits on rock-specific charts)
*"Crazy" by [[Gnarls Barkley]] (a side project between producer [[Danger Mouse]] and single [[Cee-Lo]])
*"Did My Time" by [[Korn]] (one the pioneers of the rap-rock and nu metal genres)
*"Drive" by [[Incubus]] (the song was off of the 1999 album ''[[Make Yourself]]'', but did not chart until 2001. The band has also had a long string of top 10 hits on the Modern Rock chart, including the #1 ''[[Anna-Molly]]'' in 2006)
*"The Middle" by [[Jimmy Eat World]] (one of the pioneers of the [[emo]] sub-genre of alternative rock. Had other hits on rock specific charts including ''Sweetness'', ''Bleed American'', and ''Pain'', the latter of which was a #1 hit on the [[Modern Rock Tracks|US Modern Rock Chart]].)
*"[[Feel Good Inc.]]" by [[Gorillaz]] (not only successful on other charts since 2002, but is a project between [[Blur (band)|Blur]] frontman [[Damon Albarn]], cartoonist [[Jamie Hewlett]], the afformentioned [[Danger Mouse]], various musicians - including [[Tina Weymouth]] and [[Chris Franz]] of [[Talking Heads]] - and others. This song also features a guest apperence by rap act [[De La Soul]], who had a successful string of hits in the early '90's)
*"Heaven" by [[Los Lonely Boys]] (has had several hits on the mainstream rock charts)
*"[[I Hope You Dance (song)|I Hope You Dance]]" by [[Lee Ann Womack]] with [[Sons of the Desert (band)|Sons of the Desert]] (both Womack and Sons of the Desert had many other country hits; this was the most successful crossover for either artist, however)

*"[[The Remedy (I Won't Worry)]]" by [[Jason Mraz]] (has had several hits on the Adult Alternative charts and on college radio)
*"[[Stacy's Mom]]" by [[Fountains of Wayne]] (this band has had several hits on the Modern Rock charts and in England (where two other songs charted in 1996 and 1997) before and after the release of the song)
*"Swear It Again" by [[Westlife]] (only American hit, one of the biggest boy bands in the U.K.)
*"[[(There's Gotta Be) More to Life]]" by [[Stacie Orrico]] (has had a radio hit with "Stuck" and several Christian Rock hits)
*"We Fly High" by [[Jim Jones (rapper)|Jim Jones]] (had other hits on the Hip-Hop and R&B charts)

}}</ref> published a study on the mineral contents of different waters available in the US. The study concluded, "drinking water sources available to North Americans may contain high levels of [[Calcium]], [[Magnesium]], and [[Sodium]] and may provide clinically important portions of the recommended dietary intake of these minerals. Physicians should encourage patients to check the mineral content of their drinking water, whether tap or bottled, and choose water most appropriate for their needs." Since distilled water doesn't contain minerals, supplemental mineral intake through diet is needed to maintain proper health.
It is often observed that consumption of "hard" water, or water that has some minerals, may have beneficial cardiovascular effects. As noted in the American Journal of Epidemiology, consumption of hard drinking water is negatively correlated with atherosclerotic [[heart disease]].<ref>{{Citation

}}</ref> Since distilled water is devoid of minerals, it will not have these potential benefits.
It has been suggested that -- because distilled water lacks [[fluoride]] ions that are added by many governments (e.g. municipalities in the United States) at water treatment plants using [[fluoridation]] for its supposed effect on the inhibition of [[caries|cavity]] formation -- the drinking of distilled water may increase the risk of tooth decay due to a lack of this element.<ref>[http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DentalHealth/tb/1756 ''Bottled Water Cited as Contributing to Cavity Comeback'' at MedPage Today]</ref>

A purported effect of drinking water in its pure form is a 'more powerful solvent' that helps cleanse toxins from the body{{Fact|date=February 2007}}.
{{DEFAULTSORT:One-hit wonders}}
The cost of distilling water (about 0.04 to 0.10 Euro or USD per litre in 2005) prohibits its use by most households worldwide.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

==Myths==
[[Category:American music history]]
A popular myth about distilled water is that it has the dangerous property of being more easily heated above its normal [[boiling point]] without actually boiling (as seen in "Mythbusters") in a process known as [[superheating]]. When superheated water is disturbed or has impurities added to it, a nucleation center for bubbles form. These bubbles are then new nucleation centers, and a sudden, explosive boiling can occur, possibly causing serious injury to those nearby. However, distilled water and tap water do not differ in their ease of or danger in being superheated. The dissolved impurities in motionless tap water do not present enough disturbance to inhibit superheating.
