When a musician releases an album, how do they decide what songs are going to be singles? I understand that singles tend to be the songs that they think will be the most popular, but how do they figure this out?

Singles are usually going to be the songs that grab attention- they’re usually short, follow a familiar pop/rock song structure, they have high energy or a catchy hook. That usually eliminates ballad, long-form, or interlude tracks that appear on an album. After that, it’s whatever the artists/producers/label executives think will be successful. Singles tend to be more popular simply by being released as singles.
