many of the U.K.'s Maxi-CDs still contain only three mixes and come nowhere near the maximal allowable playing time. However, releases on dance labels (such as EMI's Positiva) are nearly always Maxi-CDs in the true sense, with more than three mixes. Madonna and Lady Gaga are the rare examples of popular American artists who still released maxi-singles on physical formats into the 2010s. Another example is Erasure's single "Breathe", released by Mute in 2005 in the US. It includes eight different tracks, six of which are versions of the title song, plus a CD-ROM section with the video of the title song, in a standard jewel case packaging.
