I believe the answer is:

singalong

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a group chant' is the definition.
'singalong' can be an answer for 'chant' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'a group' bit.

'ignoring lines ryan gosling organised' is the wordplay.
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'lines' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'ryan'+'gosling'='ryangosling'
'ryangosling' with 'ry' removed is 'angosling'.
'angosling' with letters rearranged gives 'SINGALONG'.
