You know you've made it when you can go by only your first name. Luckily for Destiny's Child uber-diva Beyonce Knowles, she wasn't born Eunice.

But even if she didn't have such a fame-friendly moniker -- not to mention a burgeoning film career and romance with rap mogul Jay-Z -- her debut solo disc Dangerously in Love would be enough to position her as the next megastar of stage, screen and supermarket tabloid.

From the instantly addictive horn lines that drive Crazy in Love, it's obvious this hour-long set was precision-engineered to storm the charts with a vengeance. All the essential ingredients are here: The crunktastic grooves and infectious melodies; the name-that-tune samples and rewrites; the boudoir ballads and seductive slow-grinders; the V.I.P. guests like Luther Vandross, Missy Elliott and (natch) Jay-Z; the musical-cred excursions into dancehall and raga; and, of course, the snapshots of Beyonce sans undies.

Which is not to say the CD is all that and a bag of chips; despite her impressive vocal chops, Knowles sometimes seems to have trouble standing out amid all the starpower and fireworks. And like too many hip-hop records, this 14-track affair is too long and frontloaded -- the hits run out mid-set and the longer the disc goes on, the less satisfying it becomes.

Still, with Dangerously in Love, Beyonce oughta have no trouble convincing millions of music fans to say her name.
