The concern for her is longevity. TEOG has stabilized on iTunes somewhat, so that's a good sign. She needs hits to keep the album selling, since the holidays are still far off.

I agree... I would not worry about second week. There will be probably be a massive drop... so what... we know Gaga is going to promote the crap out of this album for the next few years so I am not really concerned...
And I agree that things for TEOG are looking great. It has stabilized on iTunes and has been in the Top 10 this past week and the week of it's release... this is good because it shows there is popular interest (unlike Judas which was in the Top 10 for a few days and then plummeted out of the Top 20). Radio updates are also solid... it is not getting massive updates, but they are respectable, stable, and the song keeps moving up!
Hopefully the rumors about the video coming out around June 10th are true- but I highly doubt it. .... That would be record time for a Gaga post-production cycle, but maybe her team knows that TEOG is going to need some promo to hold it over for the next month or so....
PS do we have any clue the next time Gaga will do some US promo?!?!?! I know she is in Canada June 19th, but besides that.......
