While it's not currently possible to release an album "waterfall" style (where the album page populates with newly released tracks on specified dates until the full album release), you can use a variation of this strategy using multiple uploads to DistroKid. With this strategy, you can release singles over time and then compile all of them later on as a full album upload.
There are two ways to do this using DistroKid.
One way is to upload the full album containing all singles and setting the future planned release date for the full album. This will generate ISRCs for all of the tracks in the album. After the album is uploaded, you can upload the singles separately and with their own release dates, while also entering the ISRCs for them that were generated when you uploaded the album. You can enter these ISRCs on the upload form by using the “already got an ISRC code?” option.
The other way is to first upload your singles individually using separate uploads on DistroKid, and then use the ISRCs generated for these singles in an upload for the full album later on.
In either scenario, you are free to delete the singles from stores once the album is released, or keep them live alongside the album!
