I get fed up with enharmonic spellings, though, because in most cases they are impratical, and just make music that much more difficult to read...Anyway, I'd say B# is one of the least common notes in compositions. Composers dislike using too many sharps and flats, often.
That's why a lot of the time composers will spell things incorrectly so they are easier to play. The other half of the time, though, they don't know that what they're doing is incorrect.
