See above Taylor always looses in album sales compared to Adele, but also some difference between 21 back then and 1989 now:
21 was Adele's breakthrough era. She established a fan base with it so the time the album was out isn't as important as the time 1989 was out.
21 was on it's 3rd single, 1989 is on it's 6th single.
Felt like 1989 had more promotion and more airplay obviously over 6 singles than 21 over 3, so more people knew the album and already made the decision to either buy it or don't buy it. You can only sell if you get new people to make that decision.
But yes Adele always wins
