My guess was that the first couple of singles advertised the album initially, and then subsequent single releases were to keep advertising the album after the initial spike in sales - keep the buzz going.

When radio, TV, and charts were more important for promotion, it kept tracks from an album circulating publicly for at least a few months. This was always my interpretation anyway.
