An album release would have an accompanying single, often chosen by the record company (based on what they predict would be the most commercial) and to a large extent this would be a promotional tool to help boost album sales. Obviously that whole system has kinda collapsed with the advent of digital sales and streaming. So I think some people are doing this as a way of getting you to listen to what they think is the strongest track, meaning you might stick around and listen to more or even purchase. I could be wrong and agree that it can be irritating.
I agree with this, but, if I may draw from my own experience what my band did for our second release was shared what I felt was one of our most striking songs ahead of the proper release to get people curious and hopefully excited, then put out the entire thing at some time later. I did it to mirror how it used to be because I'm a stick in the mud and fear change
