In major contexts, Bb major belongs naturally to common flat keys and is widely used in chord charts and lead sheets because It's easy to read and fits naturally within flat-based harmonic settings.

In minor contexts, Bb minor is also commonly used because it avoids the awkward spellings that would appear in A# minor, such as B# and E#.
