Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for returning to a first media asset that was replaced by playback of a second media asset when the first media asset is trending in social chatter. A media guidance application may identify the first media asset. In response to receiving a command from a user input device to access a second media asset, the media guidance application may replace playback of the first media asset with playback of the second media asset and monitor a social network for chatter relating to the first media asset. In response to detecting a threshold amount of chatter on the social network relating to the first media asset, the media guidance application may identify a play position in the first media asset corresponding to the chatter, and replace playback of the second media asset with playback of the first media asset at the identified play position.
