=== 1990–1992: ''Stick Around for Joy'' and breakup === At the conclusion of the tour in late 1990, the band members pursued their own interests.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> ''[[Stick Around for Joy]]'', their third and final album, was released in February 1992. It featured guest guitarist [[John McGeoch]] (formerly of [[Magazine (band)|Magazine]] and [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]]) on the opening track, "Gold". The album received noticeably better reviews than ''Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!'', and spawned the band's first big hit single, the aptly titled "[[Hit (The Sugarcubes song)|Hit]]". Further singles "Walkabout" and "Vitamin" failed to make any chart impact. The Sugarcubes opened for [[U2]] during the US leg of their [[Zoo TV Tour]] in October and November 1992, playing to a total of 700,000 people.<ref name=":0" /> A [[remix album]], ''[[It's-It (album)|It's-It]]'', was released in October 1992 along with a re-release of "Birthday" which was backed by numerous remixes of the song. One single that was released from the compilation, the Tony Humphries remix of "[[Leash Called Love]]", reached number one on [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard''<nowiki/>'s]] [[Hot Dance Club Songs]] Chart in 1992.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/419227/sugarcubes/chart?f=359|title=The Sugarcubes – Chart history {{!}} Billboard|website=www.billboard.com|language=en|access-date=2017-03-15}}</ref> The Sugarcubes disbanded in late December 1992. The members remain involved in the management of record label [[Smekkleysa]] (Bad Taste Ltd). Björk embarked on a solo career, coming to prominence with albums such as ''[[Debut (Björk album)|Debut]]'' (1993), ''[[Post (Björk album)|Post]]'' (1995), and ''[[Homogenic]]'' (1997).
