Abstract: Systems and methods for navigating through content in an interactive media guidance application are provided. Media assets are displayed in response to a user selecting a media identifier from a list of media identifiers. In response to receiving a user selection of a media asset, a navigation indicator associated with the media asset is stored, where the navigation indicator represents a path for navigating through the hierarchy of the interactive media guidance application to the media asset. In response to determining that the media asset is being played back after the user navigates away from the media identifier to another media identifier, the navigation indicator is displayed within the interactive media guidance application.
