In the Chart performance section, "On August 18, 2008, the single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling at lease a million copies in paid digital downloads", is "lease" supposed to be "least"?

Same section, "Her dance moves for the video, which were inspired by Travolta's movies like Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease (1978) and Perfect (1985) took three hours to shoot". Same section, "The youngsters who boarded the taxi, leave it and takes the train instead", if their "youngsters", that means their more than one, so "takes" needs to be "take". Also, "youngsters"?
