Arghh!
Sade (warning: constant music on this web site) has won an OBE[1]. For services to the recording industry. Why do people buy her records? They're all terrible!
[1] Is an OBE higher or lower than an MBE? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
lower than Member of the British Empire (MBE) as MBE is the highest civilian honour that can be bestowed by the Queen. The Order was created by King George V in 1917 to reward those involved in WWI whose service merited recognition.
Why did Sade receive one? Well, I imagine quite a few people enjoy her music, maybe even the Queen
