Sum Multiple Top N Entires

I have a matrix with month's as rows and various values for each month.  One of those values is Tons.

I have created a measure called "Largest Customer" - shown below - that gets the TopN of Tons and shows the Customer Name & Tons.

Largest Customer = CONCATENATEX(TOPN(1, 'BBS_Backlog', BBS_Backlog[Tons]), BBS_Backlog[Sold To Customer] & " | " & Format(BBS_Backlog[Tons], "0.0"), UNICHAR(10), BBS_Backlog[Tons], DESC)
 
My issue is this - when there are multiple orders tied for Top N, it lists the customer multiple times (see attached).  I would like to have it sum up the entries for each customer.  So, for the attached pic - I want it to show Bierman Contracting, Inc. * only once and show 375 for the tons. 
 
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can give me!

@NonnaBlue you are almose there, store TOPN in a variable and then in next variable summarize TOPN variable over customer and sum value and then use that in concatenatex:

 

Measure = 
VAR __topn = <your topn logic>
VAR __table = SUMMARIZE ( __topn, [Customer], "@Sum", SUM ( Table[Value] ) )
RETURN <concatenatex logic>
