Following the break up of Bleugh, Coxon pursued a solo career, which ended up being the second-most successful solo career of anyone in that band, behind frontman Damon Albarn's side project The Gorillaz. Coxon has since moved over 40,000 albums, 30,000 singles and countless other merchandise, as a stockist at HMV, where he has won runner-up employee of the month on more than one occasion.
