Abstract
A media guidance application may indicate popular content by applying a visual attribute to a display of content listings. A media guidance application may generate for display media asset listings in a list. The media guidance application may determine a popular first media asset listing of the media asset listings. The media guidance application may identify a second media asset listing of the media asset listings based on a cursor position. The media guidance application may determine a proximity metric based on a position of the first media asset listing in the list relative to a position of the cursor. The media guidance application may select a visual attribute for the cursor based at least in part on the proximity metric and how popular the popular first listing is. A visual attribute may include, for example, a color.
