I'd just started at Polytechnic at this time and within my first week or so there, the charts went through a massive change as the new Top 40 was now revealed on Sunday afternoon (as it still is now) whereas previously it had been revealed on Tuesday afternoons on Radio 1. I'm quite fond of both those #1s with an added nostalgia factor of the excitement of being a student and living away from home.
Other personal favourite tracks that peaked in October included :
Crockett's Theme - Jan Hammer (2)
Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard (18)
Crazy Crazy Nights - Kiss (4)
Brilliant Disguise - Bruce Springsteen (20)
Valerie - Steve Winwood (19)
