1. A method for rearranging an order of display for a plurality of media asset identifiers based on a relative frequency of user interactions, over a period of time, with a corresponding plurality of media assets, the method comprising:

  • retrieving, from a database, a first plurality of media asset identifiers including a first media asset identifier and a second media asset identifier;

    generating for display, using control circuitry, the first plurality of media asset identifiers;

    receiving, at a first time, a first user command to play back a first media asset corresponding to the first media asset identifier;

    in response to receiving the first user command;

    retrieving, with the control circuitry, a first descriptive term corresponding to the first media asset; and

    storing a first association between the first time and the first descriptive term;

    receiving, at a second time, a second user command to play back a second media asset corresponding to the second media asset identifier;

    in response to receiving the second user command;

    retrieving, with the control circuitry, a second descriptive term corresponding to the second media asset; and

    storing a second association between the second time and the second descriptive term;

    determining a third media asset associated with the first media asset based on the first descriptive term and determining a fourth media asset associated with the second media asset based on the second descriptive term;

    comparing, with the control circuitry, the first time against the second time to determine that the second time is closer to the present time than the first time;

    generating a ranking, wherein the fourth media asset is ranked higher in the ranking than the third media asset based on the first association, the second association, and the determination that the second time is closer to the present time than the first time;

    storing the ranking in the database;

    receiving a third user command to generate for display a second plurality of media asset identifiers comprising a third media asset identifier corresponding to the third media asset and a fourth media asset identifier corresponding to the fourth media asset; and

    based on receiving the third user command to generate for display the second plurality of media asset identifiers;

    retrieving the ranking from the database; and

    generating for display, using the control circuitry, based on the ranking, the second plurality of media asset identifiers, wherein the fourth media asset identifier is displayed more prominently than the third media asset identifier.
